Recent appearances

• Members' Allowances and Assistance for Opposition Parties. 29 Jul 1974

  Can the right hon. Gentleman say what he has in mind about the shape of the Select Committee when it ultimately sits? Is it to be composed purely of back benchers, and, if so, does he envisage the minority parties being represented on it?

• Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Appropriation Order) 29 Jul 1974

  Is the £35 million a once-and-for-all sum? Does the hon. Gentleman regard the local government reorganisation as being finished, or will there be future sums for that purpose?

• Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland (Appropriation Order) 29 Jul 1974
