European Union Referendum Bill

Debate between Lord Skelmersdale and Lord Pearson of Rannoch

Monday 2nd November 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Pearson of Rannoch]

My Lords, if the noble Lord is referring to our markets in the European Union, we happen to be its largest client. Is there any reason why we should not continue exactly as we are in our mutual interest?

[Lord Skelmersdale (Con)]

My Lords, before the noble Lord replies, can we get back to some sort of order, so that we can have the points explained with some degree of logicality? If the noble Lord, Lord Hannay, has finished his original speech on presenting the amendment, could he perhaps move it so that we can get on in the normal way?

Debate between Lord Skelmersdale and Lord Pearson of Rannoch

Thursday 8th May 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Skelmersdale (Con)]

My Lords, the Question has already been put so I very much regret that, in my view at least, the noble Lord, Lord Hannay, is somewhat out of order. I therefore suggest that my noble friends on the Front Bench do not answer him now but do so at the end of the debate.

[Lord Pearson of Rannoch]

My Lords, I am not sure that that is entirely correct. I, too, wish to put a point to the Minister about his speech.
