PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Conduct of the Honourable Member for Livingstone and Backbenchers' Prerogatives (30 January 1990)
Motion Details
That this House condemns the unprecedented taking of backbenchers' rare prime debating time by a Front Bench member, namely the presentation of a Ten Minute Rule Bill by the honourable Member for Livingstone, Opposition Front Bench spokesman for Health, thereby usurping a backbencher's customary prerogative; and notes that this was done on an Opposition day, when the subject could have been selected for debate at length by the Opposition.
