Questions And Answers On The Floor

EDM number 1579 in 2002-03, proposed by Harry Barnes on 11/07/2003.

That this House appreciates the regular interventions of Mr Speaker to encourage honourable Members to ask succinct questions and for Ministers to respond in similar ways, thus enabling more honourable Members to be called during question times and in response to Ministerial statements; accepts the wise words of Plato (Protagoras 3429 - 3436) 'that the art of framing brief, taut and telling phrases is a mark of the highest culture'; and affirms its intention to now pursue the precept of Plato for 'laconic brevity'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
