Question
To ask the Leader of the House pursuant to the oral statement by the Prime Minister of 11 July 2007, Official Report, columns 1449-51, on the draft legislative programme, what discussions she has had with the Chairs of Select Committees and the Liaison Committee on making all Bills subject to pre-legislative scrutiny.
Answer
I have had no discussions with the Liaison Committee or other select committees on this point since the Prime Minister's statement, but the subject of pre-legislative scrutiny of Bills is one which has arisen in previous exchanges with the Liaison Committee. My right hon. Friend expects to meet the Liaison Committee in the autumn.
