Debate between Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts and Lord Foulkes of Cumnock
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Con)
My Lords, the debate has gone on for a long time and I promise to detain the House for no longer than two minutes.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)
Many of us do not live in London and we have to get to other parts of the United Kingdom. We are hearing the same arguments again and again. Surely it is about time that we went to the vote.
The Earl of Courtown (Con)
My Lords, for the convenience of the House, I suggest that we hear from my noble friends Lord Hodgson and Lady Shackleton, and then we move on to the noble Lord, Lord McFall.
