Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Debate between Lord Foulkes of Cumnock and Viscount Ullswater

Wednesday 9th January 2019 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

For the convenience of the Committee, perhaps I should read out something from the Standing Orders:

“Debate must be relevant to the Question before the House”—


I believe that that is what the Minister suggested; it must be relevant to the question that I have put from the Chair—and:

“No Lord is to speak more than once to any Motion”.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

My Lords, perhaps this can be my speech, then. The noble Viscount in the Chair was looking at me, but there are other Members of the Committee who might need his admonition even more than I do.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

My Lords, I said it for clarification.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Debate between Lord Foulkes of Cumnock and Viscount Ullswater

Committee: 9th sitting (Hansard): House of Lords
Wednesday 21st March 2018 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

To the contrary, Not Content.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

Not Content. As we are all here, we might as well get on with it.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I think I will put the Question again. The Question is that the House be resumed. As many as are of that opinion will say Content.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

To the contrary, Not Content.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

Not Content.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I think the Contents have it.

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach]

My Lords, perhaps I may explain. An Urgent Question has to be repeated at about 6 pm. Rather than have that at a ridiculously late hour, we will adjourn the House until 6 pm. That will provide an opportunity for noble Lords to get refreshment and then we will be able to deal with the next group in toto and without interruption. I think that is the right way to go about it. I have discussed it around the Chamber, as the noble Lord will know.
