Arrangement of Business

Debate between Baroness Falkner of Margravine and Lord De Mauley

Monday 2nd July 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord De Mauley]

My Lords, in view of the fact that the second Statement has not yet started in the other place, I am afraid that I am going to have to beg to move that the House do now adjourn during pleasure, I suggest for 10 minutes.

[Baroness Falkner of Margravine]

My Lords, in the 20 minutes that we have had for this European Council Statement, not a single female Member of this House apart from the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, was able to subject the Government to scrutiny. I therefore wonder whether the House will consent to hear me put a question to the noble Lord the Leader on the European Council. My question is to do with the banking union.
