Arrangement of Business
Debate between Lord Kennedy of Southwark and Lord Beith
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Beith) (LD)
I am not sure that the House wishes this matter to be decided by a Division, but I have no alternative if that is persisted.
Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)
I understand the desire of the House to get on with the business. I get that, but the problem may be that we have not got any papers yet, so we will have to have a short adjournment to get those ready.

The Deputy Speaker (Lord Beith) (LD)
The original Question was that Motion D be agreed to, since when Motion D1 has been moved as an amendment to Motion D. The Question therefore is that Motion D1 be agreed to. The matter will be decided by a Division.
Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, this is a consequential amendment and should just be moved formally by the House.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Beith) (LD)
It is a matter for the House whether it is treated as a consequential amendment, and not one that I can rule on.
