Operation of Air Services (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Debate between Lord Geddes and Lord Foulkes of Cumnock

Wednesday 21st November 2018 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Geddes) (Con)]

The Question is that this Motion be agreed to.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

Not content.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

My Lords, I must remind the Grand Committee that the Motion before it is to consider—I emphasise the word “consider”—the regulations, not to approve them. Whatever happens here in the Grand Committee, the Government will need to table an approval Motion in the Chamber, where any Member concerned can properly register disagreement. I also remind the Grand Committee, as contained in paragraph 3.13 on page 29 of the Companion, that we cannot have a vote in Grand Committee. With that in mind, I put the Question again. The Question is that this Motion—I emphasise, the Motion being to consider the regulations—be agreed to.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

Not content.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I am sorry, my Lords, we cannot have a vote within the Grand Committee. The Motion is therefore negatived.
