Procedure of the House (Proposal 8)

Lord Brabazon of Tara Excerpts

Tuesday 8th November 2011 Lords Chamber

Moved By

[The Chairman of Committees]

To resolve that the practice of debating “motions for papers” be discontinued, and that in future all general debates not inviting the House to reach a positive decision should take place on “take note” motions, which should be short, neutrally phrased and not subject to amendment.

Motion agreed.
