Arrangement of Business

Debate between Lord Kennedy of Southwark and Baroness Fookes

Monday 15th December 2025 Lords Chamber

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, I expect the Employment Rights Bill to return to this House from the House of Commons this afternoon. I thought that it would assist the House to set out the arrangements for the Bill tomorrow. Once the Bill returns and all amendments are printed, Members have until 12 noon tomorrow, Tuesday 16 December, to table Motions or amendments. Members wishing to table should speak to the Public Bill Office as early as possible. This House will consider the Bill again tomorrow, before the Second Reading of the Victims and Courts Bill. I will set out arrangements for further rounds of ping-pong in the usual way, if necessary.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Fookes) (Con)]

My Lords, this seems an appropriate moment to have a short break before I call the next business—but not while I am still on my feet.

Committee stage
Monday 9th December 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)]

I thank my noble friend for that. I hope that we will not need to intervene, but the Whips on the government Bench will certainly intervene if necessary. I ask all noble Lords to read the points on Committee stage, which were agreed by the House. We do not want repetition; we want proper scrutiny, with progress made today on the Bill. We have a number of groups to get through, but it is perfectly achievable in the time.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Fookes) (Con)]

My Lords, I suggest that we now begin.
