Harriett Baldwin calls on the Deputy PM for reassurance that commission to look into the West Lothian question will be in place by the time of the Third Readingof her private Member's Bill on 9th September. Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): On 5 April the Deputy Prime Minister said there was “a need to ensure” that reform of the other place did not “overlap” with the establishment of the West Lothian commission. Given that reform of the other place may take some time, can the Deputy Prime Minister reassure us that the West Lothian commission will be in place by the time of the Report stage and Third Reading of my private Member’s Bill on 9 September? The Deputy Prime Minister: I can confirm that the commission that will look into the West Lothian question will be established this year. | Hansard
