Baroness Anelay of St Johns
My Lords, 37 speakers are signed up for today’s Second Reading of the Financial Services Bill. If Back-Bench contributions on the Bill were to be kept to around eight minutes, the House should be able to rise this evening at around our normal target rising time of 10 o’clock. As ever, that guidance excludes speeches from the Minister and the opposition Front Bench. There is one Statement to be repeated today by my noble friend Lord Howell of Guildford on the matter of Syria. That will be taken as close as possible to 5.30 pm. For those taking part in the debate, that means that when a contribution from a Peer ends after 5.30 pm, my noble friend will stand up to make the Statement at that point.
