Baroness Evans of Bowes Park Excerpts

Monday 13th December 2021 Lords Chamber

Moved by

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

That Standing Order 73 (Affirmative Instruments) be dispensed with on Wednesday 15 December to enable motions to approve affirmative instruments laid before the House under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 to be moved, notwithstanding that no report from the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments on the instruments will have been laid before the House.

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Evans of Bowes Park) (Con)]

My Lords, I beg to move the second Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.

[Lord Robathan (Con)]

My Lords, before we go any further, could my noble friend the Leader tell us when the third SI will be laid? I asked the clerks and the Printed Paper Office, but they said it is not there.

--- Later in debate ---

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Con)]

I am afraid I do not know, but I will find out. We will message noble Lords as soon as this is over.

Motion agreed.
