Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015

Debate between Baroness Harris of Richmond and Lord Marlesford

Monday 7th September 2015 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Harris of Richmond) (LD)]

The Question is that this Motion be agreed to. As many as are of that opinion will say “Content”; to the contrary, “Not content”.

[Lord Marlesford]

Not content.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I think that the Contents have it.

--- Later in debate ---

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

That is exactly what happens. I am grateful to the noble Lord. It will go back to the Government and they will decide when and if they take the regulations to the Floor of the House.

[Lord Marlesford]

That presumably means that unless they come back this week or next week, because Parliament does not come back until 12 October, it would be impossible for this statutory instrument to be brought into effect on 1 October.
