Parliamentary Committees: Motions.

 

Despite the voluminous legislation passing through committees, such as the Competition Bill, and the amount of time spent at a committee by Opposition Members, there would be nothing in the media, either on television or in the newspapers. It is probably heartrending for Members who put in the maximum effort, and it happens to Ministers as well. There is no publicity. That is one of the greatest problems of the multiplicity of committees. If we had fewer committees, there were be greater quality in regard to contributions. We have erred on the side of quantity rather than quality.
