The House of Commons Commission had already taken a similar view. These commitments were reaffirmed by the Joint Committee on the Palace of Westminster in 2016 and in the resolutions of both Houses following the debates in 2018.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 23/07/2019 11:43:05 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith
