Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill

Lord De Mauley Excerpts

Wednesday 11th May 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Carlile of Berriew]

My Lords, there are a number of problems with Amendment 31. The first is that we have not debated it yet. We have not agreed it. Logically, if we are to have a structured debate, it should start with Amendment 31. The problem is that we would be debating Amendment 1 all over again.

[Lord De Mauley]

Following the advice of the noble Lord opposite, I beg to move that the Committee do now adjourn during pleasure until 9.10 pm.

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord De Mauley]

I am going to have to crave your Lordships’ indulgence and ask if we can have a further adjournment during pleasure until 9.20 pm.

Sitting suspended.
