Will the Minister confirm that this will have to be done by a resolution of the whole House? Does he have a date in mind for such a resolution?

The usual parliamentary process will be followed, so there will have to be a proposal. The statutory instrument for positive development grants has already been laid, and that can be either passed or prayed against in the usual way. The hon. Lady is right to say that, when we come up with proposals for Short money, they will have to be passed by a resolution of this House.
