Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill

Baroness Garden of Frognal Excerpts

Committee stage
Monday 11th October 2021 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Garden of Frognal) (LD)]

My Lords, Members are encouraged to leave some distance between themselves and others and to wear a face covering when not speaking. If there is a Division in the Chamber while we are sitting, the Committee will adjourn as soon as the Division Bells are rung, and it will resume after 10 minutes.

Clauses 1 to 15 agreed.

--- Later in debate ---

[Viscount Younger of Leckie (Con)]

My Lords, it might be helpful—

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Garden of Frognal) (LD)]

I am so sorry—I am getting slightly muddled. In the interests of clarity, I point out that the amendment proposed is:

“Page 15, line 31, leave out ‘may’ and insert ‘must’”.


I do apologise to the Minister.

[Viscount Younger of Leckie (Con)]

Just for my own clarity, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Brixton, for his comments, but he might like to speak to the amendments in this group, which are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
