Arrangement of Business

Debate between Lord Colwyn and Lord Peston

Tuesday 4th October 2011 Grand Committee

[Lord Peston]

My Lords, might I raise a further question? I am not quite yet in a wheelchair but I have a badly damaged knee. I could easily not manage to get down there, particularly if the lift was not working. When these discussions take place could you not confine it just to people in wheelchairs but include people who are hampered in other ways?

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I add that I am able to make the temporary recess while we go down to vote a little longer if I feel it is necessary, so I shall keep an eye on that.
