That will be shortly.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)]

My Lords, will the Minister join me in welcoming the decision of the Supreme Court yesterday, which will enable lesbian and gay couples to have the same pension rights as heterosexual couples?

National Citizen Service Bill [HL]

Debate between Baroness Royall of Blaisdon and Baroness Buscombe

Ping Pong (Hansard): House of Lords
Tuesday 4th April 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Buscombe]

I say to the noble Baroness that there has been plenty of opportunity through the passage of the Bill.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)]

I am a fervent supporter of the NCS. However, I think it is absolutely right and proper that the noble Baroness, Lady Barker, puts these questions, because, following the publication of the report of the Public Accounts Committee, this is the only time when she is able to put these questions. That is not to say I am against the Bill, but she is right to put the questions.
