Something To Look Forward To In Parliament Tomorrow (Monday)
29 Answers
There is a debate on the seven MPs who maligned the House of Commons Privileges Committee investigation into Boris lying in parliament – calling it a kangaroo court/witch-hunt etc.
Apparently the Lib-Dems have tabled a motion for all seven to be investigated for contempt – and if found guilty, an appropriate punishment applied.
Let’s hope there is a vote on the motion that succeeds.
The fun is scheduled to start at 3:30pm (or soon after)

HYMIE, "Looking at the parliament website, this motion was carried by 353 votes to 7."
That was the result of the debate after the publication of the Johnson report.
The motion regarding the latest Privileges report was passed without a division so there was no vote as such.
Regarding the selection of amendments to motions, I have heard or seen in the past that one of the Speaker's considerations is the number of MPs and the number of different parties supporting each proposed amendment.
If there is wide ranging support for a proposed amendment, it is more likely to be selected for debate.
