Last night, after a proposed amendment was defeated, the House voted 235 to 44 to approve Motion No. 517, thus instructing the standing committee on procedure and House affairs to recommend changes to the standing orders and conventions governing oral questions. That committee has six months now before it must report back to the House with those recommendations.
