It is for that reason that the definition of “opposition frontbenches” that applied in practice before the 2010 Parliament has been reverted to in this Parliament. <br><br>It remains open to any member who wishes to propose a change to current arrangements to make representations to me and/or make a submission to the Procedure Committee.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston grouped question UIN HL1135 HL1136 HL1137 HL1138 HL1139 question first answered 20/07/2015 16:47:20 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston
