The Government partially accepts this recommendation. As the Committee has recognised, it is not always possible to notify the House of the most important announcements first. For example, there are occasions when developments or announcements will occur when the House is not sitting, or will develop later in the day and the events or context change. By convention, oral statements are also avoided where possible on Opposition days, and it is generally not appropriate to make planned oral statements at certain times - for example, during the debate on the King’s Speech. However, on such occasions the Government remains committed to ensuring that the details of announcements are made available to the House at the earliest appropriate opportunity.
