Procedure of the House (Proposal 3)

Countess of Mar Excerpts

Tuesday 8th November 2011 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Erroll]

To help the noble Lord, it is not just television as there is also YouTube and other internet channels. You cannot do anything about that and we will probably be putting out more information that is much more accessible to the general public.

[The Countess of Mar]

My Lords, if people are interested in the proceedings of the House, they have only to go on to the parliamentary website and look at the Business of the House. They can then see all the Questions listed for a month ahead.

[The Chairman of Committees (Lord Brabazon of Tara)]

My Lords, I do not know whether noble Lords think that we should maybe come to a conclusion on this proposal. Before asking for the Question to be put, I will say that I will take back the question of the noble Lord, Lord Butler, on how much or what is televised. Otherwise, I move that proposal 3 be agreed to.
