Debate between Baroness Campbell of Surbiton and Lord Bishop of Southwark

Monday 26th October 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Campbell of Surbiton (CB)]

My Lords—

[The Lord Bishop of Southwark]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach]

My Lords, perhaps I may suggest, given the very large number of noble Lords who want to speak, that for the benefit of the House they keep their contributions brief and to the point, so that we can get as many people in as possible. Furthermore, if we can go around the House, as we do at Question Time, it will help create a sense of balance in our debate, which I am sure noble Lords will appreciate. I hope the right reverend Prelate will excuse me—because normally he would take precedence—but I have indicated to the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell of Surbiton, that she might speak next. I hope that he will understand why I wish to do so.
