Debate between Baroness Cumberlege and Lord Duncan of Springbank

Committee stage & Committee: 6th sitting (Hansard) & Committee: 6th sitting (Hansard): House of Lords
Tuesday 17th November 2020 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Duncan of Springbank) (Con)]

I have received a single request to speak after the Minister, so I hope that we can now go to the noble Baroness, Lady Cumberlege.

[Baroness Cumberlege (Con) [V]]

No, that is a mistake. Somebody else involved with the conversation that I have been having thought that I wanted to come in on this occasion. I thought that I would give noble Lords a rest—they hear enough from me, so on this occasion I did not want to come in.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Duncan of Springbank) (Con)]

I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Cumberlege—that is very gracious. On that basis, we have nobody else to come in after the Minister at this point so I come directly to the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay of Llandaff.
