Government Ministers In The House Of Lords

EDM number 2178 in 2007-08, proposed by Mark Oaten on 07/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of House of Lords and Ministers.

That this House notes the appointment of a new Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to the House of Lords; further notes that the lead Minister for this Department will therefore not appear in the House of Commons; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to ensure that all Government Ministers who are members of the House of Lords be required to attend departmental Questions and make Ministerial Statements in the House of Commons so that the elected House can hold them to account.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
