Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).
One of the rules we established in my company many years ago was that we would never have meetings in a room with chairs and we held meetings standing up. We had meetings at 8 a.m. or earlier and no breakfast would be served until the meeting was over. It is a great control, a great system for stopping people from talking too much. In fact, on occasions it would not be a bad idea for this House, that we would have no seats here and we would have to stand. Perhaps we would not spend so much time on certain matters.
