Privileges and Conduct

Baroness Hayman Excerpts

Thursday 16th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hayman (CB)]

I do not wish to delay the House but I would like to express my gratitude to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct for what has been a thorough and timely approach to drawing up these changes to Standing Orders. The House will be aware that concerns were expressed that these very serious powers should be implemented only after careful consideration and due and proper process. These Standing Orders ensure that that would happen. I am extremely grateful and I support them.

Motion agreed.
