Queen’s Speech

Lord Ashton of Hyde Excerpts

Tuesday 2nd June 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, before we hear my noble friend’s opening speech, I remind the House that there is an advisory speaking time of seven minutes. Last night we finished at 10 minutes to midnight because not every noble Lord abided by the advisory speaking time. Therefore, I ask—perhaps plead with—noble Lords to pay attention to this advisory time.
