Government Policy Announcements (EDM742)

Government Policy Announcements

EDM number 742 in 2003-04, proposed by Oliver Heald on 02/03/2004.

That this House notes with regret that the Government chose to save up many policy announcements, such as the reform of the examination system, substantial changes to the Civil Service and drug testing for school students, so that they could be made outside Parliament during the half-term recess; expresses its concern at this downgrading of Parliament and abuse of the stated purpose of the half-term break; and calls on the Government to make important announcements in Oral Statements to the House, so that honourable Members have the opportunity to hold the Government to account.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
