European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Countess of Mar Excerpts

Report: 4th sitting (Hansard): House of Lords
Monday 30th April 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Howard of Lympne]

I am grateful to my noble friend for giving way—

[The Countess of Mar (CB)]

It is Report.

[Lord Howard of Lympne]

It is a question, and my noble friend has not finished.

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Reid of Cardowan]

I must insist—

[The Countess of Mar]

Noble Lords may get up only once, and the noble Lord has already done so.

[Lord Tomlinson (Lab)]

The noble Countess has got up twice.

--- Later in debate ---

[Noble Lords]

Minister!

[The Countess of Mar]

My Lords, with all courtesy to the noble Lord, perhaps he would get the feeling of the House, which is to have the Minister stand on his feet.

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

My Lords, I thought this amendment was about Parliament having a say. It is unreasonable not to allow a noble Lord who gave way to the noble Baroness opposite to have a say, so we should hear him.
