House of Lords (Cessation of Membership) Bill [HL]

Baroness Anelay of St Johns Excerpts

Tuesday 24th July 2012 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Anelay of St Johns]

My Lords, as is usual in these matters, I shall now read the following. I have it in command from Her Majesty the Queen to acquaint the House that Her Majesty, having been informed of the purport of the House of Lords (Cessation of Membership) Bill, has consented to place her prerogative and interest, so far as they are affected by the Bill, at the disposal of Parliament for the purposes of the Bill.

[Lord Steel of Aikwood]

My Lords, I beg to move that the Bill be now read a third—and, I dearly hope, final—time.
