I was delighted to join the chair of the Procedure Committee, Charles Walker, to say a few words at the launch event for the Guide to Procedure on Wednesday 9 January 2019.

I responded to a motion in the House of Commons on Monday 7 January 2019 to approve the Committee on Standards report 'Implications of the Dame Laura Cox report for the House’s standards system: Initial proposals' and to agree changes to Standing Orders and to the Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members. The motion was agreed to.
