Lord Adonis
My Lords, regardless of what the noble Lord has said, I think that it is quite unacceptable that speeches on a matter of such importance should be restricted in this way when in fact the House is under no time constraint whatever, except one artificially imposed by the Government.
Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist
The advisory speaking time is in deference to colleagues because we have a number of other issues to discuss later on this evening.
