Business of the House

Thursday 4th April 2019 Lords Chamber

[Lord Warner]

He does.

[Lord Lilley (Con)]

My Lords, on a point of order—

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Warner]

My Lords, I wish I thought that the Members sitting around the noble Lord who has just spoken would take any notice of his message but, having listened for more than four hours to a set of procedural issues that have nothing to do with the Bill we are supposed to be discussing today, I suggest to the House that we put the question.

[Lord Lilley]

If that was just a suggestion, may I respond to it?

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Lilley]

No, but when I have I certainly shall. I am trying to get on because I want to deal with the central argument that was put forward by the noble Baroness, Lady Hayter: namely, that it would be a disaster if we do not get this legislation through because of the amendments that we are now considering and if we leave with no deal on WTO terms. I maintain that it would not be a disaster. What would be a disaster would be denying democracy—

[Lord Warner]

My Lords—
