Reporting of Proceedings
Journals
Proceedings and decisions taken in a
Committee of the Whole are not recorded in the
Journals. [192]
Because the House is not officially informed of the proceedings in a Committee
of the Whole until the Committee has reported, note is only made in the
Journals when the House goes into a Committee of the Whole, when the
Committee reports progress and when the Committee reports back a bill with or
without amendment. If amendments are adopted to a bill in a Committee of the
Whole, they are printed in the Journals when the Committee reports the
bill back to the
House. [193]
Debates and Broadcasting
Proceedings in a Committee of the Whole are
recorded verbatim in the Debates of the House. In addition, an
audio-visual record (an electronic Hansard) of proceedings in a Committee of the
Whole is available with the recorded proceedings of the House of
Commons.
