Budget Appropriations

Mr Speaker, I refer you to page 432 of House of Representatives Practice and the references there to question and answer sessions during debate on budget appropriations. I ask whether you would be prepared to review proceedings in the Federation Chamber earlier today, when agriculture department appropriations were under consideration. Further, I ask that when you do so—or if you do so—you further consider a reference to the procedure committee, which might be in order, to consider whether the capacity of private members to hold ministers to account could be further improved.
