Arrangement of Business

Lord Duncan of Springbank Excerpts

Wednesday 14th April 2021 Grand Committee

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

My Lords, the hybrid Grand Committee will now begin. Some Members are here in person, others are participating remotely, but all Members will be treated equally. I ask Members in the Room to respect social distancing. If the capacity of the Committee Room is exceeded, or other safety requirements are breached, I will immediately adjourn the Committee. This is the first time there has been almost enough to have capacity in the Room. If there is a Division in the House, the Committee will adjourn for five minutes. I reiterate that before you speak you should press the red button. Once you see a solid red, you will be heard—otherwise you will be very quiet indeed.
