ePolitix.com reports on Thursday's questions about future Commons business, with MPs concerned over the slow pace of the Damian Green inquiry.
Ministers and the Commons authorities have been urged to complete their investigation into the police raid of Damian Green's parliamentary office.
Shadow Commons leader Alan Duncan said he had hoped the issue would be resolved before the summer recess.
"I have to say for many months now, this delay is not just annoying, it's beginning to get a bit rude," he told MPs.
Harriet Harman said the review had come more complicated because it will now consider issues of parliamentary privilege, requiring a broader membership.
The Commons leader said she wanted the "right number of committees" to deal with the issues.
"We haven't quite got there yet but I expect and hope that we get there in good time, possibly next week," she said.
"And with any luck, we can get agreement, we won't actually have to have a debate on it.
Later in the business questions, Green said the government had "continued to dither" over the inquiry into his arrest following a police raid on his Westminster office.
"It's been three months since I was cleared and the previous Speaker said that he now wanted the Speaker's committee, which was set up by a motion of the House, to be set up because he wanted to give evidence to it about what had been said to him at the time," he said.
Green called for a commitment from government that by next week there would be a conclusion as "frankly this delay is disgraceful".
Harman retorted that had it not have been for the shadow Commons leader calling for the inclusion of the issue of privilege in the committee remit, there would not have been a delay.
"I'm trying to get this committee set up in the terms that he wanted it to be, it was his suggestion and I acquiesced to it, although I didn't think there was a massive amount of merit in it," she said.
"However because I'm a forbearing and generous person, I actually agreed to it but we're still trying to sort it out."
The shadow Commons leader also raised the issue of Equitable Life, calling for confirmation that there will be a statement before the summer recess.
He called for a minister to make the statement to the Commons so that MPs can ask question about the compensation scheme, warning that a written statement would be "an insult".
Duncan stated that Treasury minister Liam Byrne had written to him in a "slightly ambiguous" way on whether there would be a statement before recess on the progress of Sir John Chadwick's review.
"Will you confirm that this will definitely be a full oral statement which will allow the House the opportunity to question the minister on the government's plans to compensate those who have lost out," urged Duncan.
Harman said that the chief secretary to the Treasury will update the House but was not certain of the specific form the update will be in.
She added: "I'm in no doubt of the key interest that there is amongst the constituents of MPs on all sides of the House on this."
The shadow Commons leader had also called for a statement on "vandalism in this House", referring to black marks left on the despatch box by the prime minister.
"It would appear, and I can see it from here, that the culprit strikes once a week with a black felt-tipped pen and detectives have already noted that the gravest occurrence seems to be on Wednesday each week at around midday," Duncan said.
"Do you have an inkling of who the culprit might be and are you prepared to reprimand him?"
Harman responded that the subject was not a matter for discussion during Commons business.
Liberal Democrat spokesman Sir Robert Smith noted that after "uncertainty and upheaval" the Postal Services Bill is "finally dead".
He asked whether another Bill will be brought forward on a narrower basis.
Harman stated that the government remained concerned that there should be "fairer arrangements" between the Royal Mail and private postal services.
David Drew (Lab, Stroud) welcomed the "demise" of the Postal Services Bill and called for discussion on procedures for managing postal staff.
The Commons leader said the government wants to ensure there are "good relations" between management and the workforce.
Kate Hoey (Lab, Vauxhall) called for a debate on the decision to refuse parole for Ronnie Biggs.
In response, Harman said she did not feel it would be an "appropriate issue" for debate in the House.
"This is not a question of policy, this is a question of a judicial judgment in the public interest on a particular case," she added.
