Part of Local Authorities (Overview and Scrutiny) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 11:15 am on 3rd March 2010.
There is an important point to be resolved with the Minister on the question of scrutiny committees and the chairing of them. Can my right hon. Friend indicate how quickly that can be done, so that we do not lose the opportunity of getting this valuable private Members Bill on to the statute book before the great reaper arrives?
