lpv:translated text	"Under the guise of reforms to make the workings of Parliament more efficient, the Corbett report introduces a number of measures that have nothing to do with that. On the contrary, it is about modifications of Rules of Procedure that will merely impose constraints on normal parliamentary activities. The most striking example is the amendment of Rule 110(4), which would restrict the number of normal written questions to three per month. In his explanatory statement the rapporteur argues that this limit is being introduced to prevent so-called abuse of the right of Members to ask questions. The submission of written questions is one of the most important means by which we, as Members of Parliament, perform our supervisory role. Suggesting that this can lead to misuse is in fact an insult to every Member of Parliament who takes his or her duties seriously. This typical example of Socialist faultfinding is in any case unworthy of this Parliament and indeed of any parliament!"@en1
