Privileges and Conduct Committee: 10th Report

Lord Brabazon of Tara Excerpts

Wednesday 9th November 2011 Lords Chamber

Moved By

[The Chairman of Committees]

That the report from the Select Committee on the Guide to the Code of Conduct (10th Report, HL Paper 212) be agreed to.

[The Chairman of Committees (Lord Brabazon of Tara)]

My Lords, I hope that this report is self-explanatory. Under the Code of Conduct, the Sub-Committee on Lords’ Conduct is required to keep the Guide to the Code of Conduct under regular review. It has done so and has recommended to the Select Committee a number of changes to the guide. We endorse the sub-committee’s proposals and, in turn, recommend them to the House. If the House agrees the report, I understand that the amended guide will be reprinted in the near future. I beg to move.

Motion agreed.
