Saudi Arabia: Migrant Workers

Debate between Lord Taylor of Holbeach and Countess of Mar

Wednesday 9th November 2016 Lords Chamber

[The Countess of Mar (CB)]

My Lords, perhaps we should consider suspending proceedings until the noise has stopped because it is impossible to hear what we are doing.

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

My Lords, I believe that what has happened is that, because we are sitting early for a Wednesday, the builders who normally have a free run of the place are cleaning some of the stonework outside. I think we should adjourn the House for five minutes while this matter is sorted out.
