  Business of the House - Backbench Business Committee
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted against an amendment which would have meant MPs elected to the Backbench Business Committee would, unless replaced, remain members of that committee for the remainder of the Parliament (until the next general election) rather than just until the end of the Session. 
  
  The text of the original motion stated:
  "The chair and other members of the committee shall continue as members of the committee for the remainder of the ''Session'' in which they are elected unless replaced under the provisions of Standing Order No. (Election of Backbench Business Committee)."
  
  The subject of the vote was a proposal to change the word ''Session'' to ''Parliament'' in the text above.
