Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Debate between Baroness Hollis of Heigham and Baroness Scotland of Asthal

Wednesday 19th January 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hollis of Heigham]

Nonsense—withdraw.

[Baroness Scotland of Asthal]

I was not talking about whatever happened on Monday night. Then, the noble Lord, Lord Trefgarne, raised his objection, which was put. A number of us thought that it should not have been. That situation was exceptional and was the first time that such a thing had happened for 20 years. To move such a Motion again today, after a 90-minute debate, was not right. The noble Lord knows that very well.
