Procedure and Privileges Committee

Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd February 2022 Lords Chamber

[The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)]

I beg to move the Motion, as amended, standing in my name on the Order Paper.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

The Question is that this Motion be agreed to—however, I am slightly concerned about the effect of the last vote on this Motion.

[The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)]

That is why I specifically said “as amended”.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

In which case, I will read out the wording I have: “The Question is that this Motion be agreed to, only insofar as it relates to Standing Order 63, and excluding the reference to Standing Orders 52 to 54”—no?

[The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)]

I think the Standing Order issues would relate to the situation if the noble Lord, Lord Cormack, had moved his amendment.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

My Lords, I am very grateful to the Chief Whip for making to help me, but I realise that I have failed to notice that it was only in respect of the amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Cormack. That is entirely my mistake, and I apologise. Therefore, the Question is that this Motion, as amended, be agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed.
