Arrangement of Business

Lord Duncan of Springbank Excerpts

Thursday 18th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Duncan of Springbank) (Con)]

My Lords, proceedings will now commence. Some Members are here in the Chamber, others participating virtually, but all Members are treated equally. For Members participating remotely, microphones will unmute shortly before they are to speak—please accept any on-screen prompt to unmute. Microphones will be muted after each speech. If the capacity of the Chamber is exceeded, I will immediately adjourn the House. I ask noble Lords to be patient if there are any short delays as we switch between physical and remote participants. The usual rules and courtesies in debate apply. I understand that the Whip would like to make a short intervention at this point.

[Baroness Sanderson of Welton (Con)]

My Lords, the timing for this debate is very tight, so I urge noble Lords to keep their speeches to time.

[The Deputy Speaker]

The time limit is one and a half hours.
