Summary/Abstract: The report, submitted by the Council for the Polish Language, entitled “Language of political information”, contains an analysis of the problem that is narrow in scope. In the light of the current parliamentary practice, the narrow scope of the Council’s reports is typical and this has not been questioned in the course of parliamentary work. The decision of the Culture and Media Committee, resulting in a refusal to consider the document in question, is an expression of negation of the decision of the Marshal of the Sejm to recognize this document as a report. Formally, the committee proceedings on the report had not been completed. The Committee should return to examining this document and complete its work, formulating an appropriate opinion.
