House of Lords: New Peers

Baroness Royall of Blaisdon Excerpts

Thursday 10th October 2013 Lords Chamber

[The Chairman of Committees]

My Lords, we are again venturing into policy areas and, as Members of your Lordships’ House know, I have no views on such policy issues. If I did, I certainly would not express them.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)]

My Lords, I would be grateful if the Chairman of Committees could ask the Leader of the House if the rumours circulating at the highest level about another list are true. Will he also convey to the Leader that there would be great anger and dismay in this House, and in the country as a whole, if those rumours were proved to be true?

[The Chairman of Committees]

I do not think that I have any need to ask the Leader of the House that question as I am sure that he heard it directly from the Leader of the Opposition.
