Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 14 June (HL810), whether he will place a marked up copy of the new Companion to the Standing Orders in the Library of the House highlighting the changes proposed to date since the last edition.

Following the debate on Thursday 16 June I approved the publication of the complete draft text of the new edition of the Companion to the Standing Orders. This can be viewed at https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/house-of-lords-publications/rules-and-guides-for-business/companion-to-the-standing-orders/. I have also instructed staff to place copies of all papers considered by the Procedure and Privileges Committee while preparing the latest edition in the Library of the House.
