I very much welcome the Leader of the House's warm words about the Wright Committee proposals for reform of the House of Commons, and in particular her suggestion that we will need to go even further and build on them. That is an excellent and necessary idea. As a first step, will she place the Committee's draft motion on the Order Paper for a free vote in this House-yes or no?
