Committee recommends foreign secretary is scrutinised at Commons ‘bar’, which marks boundary of chamber
Ministers have been urged to back an obscure compromise so that David Cameron can be scrutinised in the House of Commons despite not being an MP.
The cross-party procedure committee has recommended in a report published on Wednesday that Lord Cameron, the UK foreign secretary, should take questions from MPs at the “bar” of the house – the white line on the Commons floor from behind which visitors must not pass while parliament is sitting.
