New Commons Order Paper

Once, not so long ago - the Commons Order paper only meant sense to those who were insiders - and knew the "code", but a lot of improvements have been made in recent years. Now it has been completely redesigned and can be used by those who have not been MPs or parliamentary officials for a long time.

Monday's new order paper is online now - do view it at http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmagenda/sa130513.htm

Any comments would be appreciated.
