The Commons Procedure Committee will on Monday [13th May] hear evidence from the Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP, Leader of the House of Commons, for its inquiry into the procedure of the House of Commons and the territorial constitution.
The Leader may be expected to be asked about lessons learned from the ‘English Votes for English Laws’ procedures, legislative consent, interparliamentary relations in the United Kingdom, representation of the UK Overseas Territories in the UK Parliament, as well as questions on other current procedural issues.
Chair comment
The Rt Hon Dame Karen Bradley MP, Chair of the Procedure Committee, said:
“Our inquiry is exploring how the House of Commons, in its procedures and practices, engages with the United Kingdom’s territorial constitution.
We look forward to hearing from the Leader of the House for her views on how each of our chambers can collaborate better on our shared interests.”
