Lord Duncan of Springbank Excerpts

Committee stage
Wednesday 15th March 2023 Lords Chamber

Relevant documents: 24th Report from the Delegated Powers Committee, 12th Report from the Constitution Committee. Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland Legislative Consent sought.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Duncan of Springbank) (Con)]

My Lords, I preface my remarks to the hearty few who are left behind by saying that the Marshalled List is fiddly today, so bear with me if I go off the rails. The noble Baroness, Lady Harris of Richmond, will be taking part remotely. I remind the Committee that, unless they are leading a group, remote speakers speak first after the mover of the lead amendment in a group and may therefore speak to other amendments in the group ahead of the Members who have tabled them.

Clause 32: Exercise of fire and rescue functions

Debate on whether Clause 32 should stand part of the Bill.
