MPs gather Wednesday night for the – in my opinion – wonderfully named ‘Committee of the Whole.’
What is it?
Parliament’s own website starts its explanation of the committee with this quote:
There is as little sense of reality in appointing a committee of sixty members as there is in having a Committee of the Whole of 265: it is hopeless to expect a committee of such size to accomplish any useful work.
