Procedure and Privileges Committee
Debate between Lord Lexden and Lord McAvoy
Lord McAvoy (Lab)
My Lords, I am sure that the whole House will pay tribute to the noble Lord, Lord McFall, for the work that he has put in and the very many suggestions that he has made. I am sure the whole House will support them. However, there is one issue that has arisen; it is entirely due to the situation we find ourselves in with the coronavirus and is no reflection on the House or the noble Lord. Recently, people have sometimes been scheduled to be in two places at the same time—for a Grand Committee debate and also on the Floor of the House. Will the noble Lord look at that and see whether there is a reasonable alternative to the current situation?
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Lexden) (Con)
If no one else in the Chamber wishes to speak, I call the Senior Deputy Speaker to reply.
