Further to that point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I have raised the issue of the procedures on the hybrid
Bill process with the Procedure Committee, but because it is a private process it may be difficult for the Committee to look at those. I very much hope that the Government are going to re-examine the hybrid Bill process, and that view has been echoed in the words of many of my friends, particularly those who have served on the HS2 Bill Committee.
The process is not satisfactory from the perspective of either the House or the people most affected by the project. I very much hope that this will not take too long and you could advise me as to whether the House eventually could change those procedures, so that large infrastructure projects are not dealt with in such an opaque and difficult manner.
