Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 10:59 am on 6 February 2020.
Following the question from my hon. Friend Ian Mearns, can we get the Backbench Business Committee up and running as soon as possible? There is now a huge queue of requests for debates. For instance, a number of Opposition Members want to apply for a debate on homelessness and housing, but we cannot yet make that application.
