Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill

Lord De Mauley Excerpts

Monday 11th July 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ramsbotham]

My Lords, is it in order to ask the Minister a question? The speakers list for today gives an estimated time of rising of 11 pm and it is now after 10.05 pm. However, it says that the target is to be confirmed. We have not had it confirmed. As Amendment 242 is tabled in my name, and we are now at Amendment 200, can the Minister enlighten me as to whether we intend to take it tonight?

[Lord De Mauley]

I wonder if I could consult with the usual channels—

[Lord Hunt of Kings Heath]

With the greatest respect, there is no agreement except to go to 11 pm so I would have thought the noble Lord could go home.
