Sir George remembers "civilised" Commons
Latest from Dot Commons
The Leader of the House gave evidence yesterday to the ongoing procedure committee inquiry into sitting hours, and revealed he was a fan of the short-lived period when the Commons sat from 11.30am to 7pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The idea of changing back seemed not to appeal to committee member Sir Roger Gale. "Members of Parliament travel to London on a Monday and then are stuck here and I think we need to maximise the use of that time," he complained. "What on earth are these members going to do in their garretts on Monday night, Tuesday night?" Sir George Young, as always a model of avuncularity, replied: "As a former London Member of Parliament I have to advertise the wide-ranging attractions of the capital city. I preferred to work the old hours. Some of the work you might have done earlier you do later. I just preferred a more civilised working day."
