Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Devolution of Policing and Justice Functions) Order 2012

Monday 2nd July 2012 Lords Chamber

Motion to Refer to Grand Committee

15:09

Moved by

[Earl Attlee]

That the draft order be referred to a Grand Committee.

[Lord Cormack]

I would like to point out to those who are concerned with the future of this place that we have on the Order Paper today a number of things, each one of which could be debated at length. However, because we are such a restrained, responsible House, we shall not be debating them at length, but an elected Chamber at odds with the other place might well choose to do so.

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, this is a very simple Motion. It refers the instrument to a Grand Committee and that has been agreed by the usual channels.

Motion agreed.
