Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
I apologise; I did not answer the point about announcing business in advance. We have sought to announce more business to the House in advance in order to enable hon. Members to plan. We are about to have a week's recess, which is why we have announced two weeks' business today. One of those weeks is the recess and the second is the week beginning 2 June, so really the hon. Gentleman is talking about the third week. We need to strike a balance between ensuring that hon. Members have sufficient notice and having the flexibility to deal with any issues that might arise.
