Arrangement of Business

Lord Faulkner of Worcester Excerpts

Thursday 30th April 2020 Lords Chamber

The announcement was made in a Virtual Proceeding via video call.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Faulkner of Worcester) (Lab)]

My Lords, the Virtual Proceedings on the debate in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Addington, will now commence. This is a time-limited debate, as the Government Whip—the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay—will now remind us.

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

My Lords, this debate is limited to three hours and is heavily subscribed, so I would be grateful if noble Lords could be very mindful of the two-minute speaking limit. I thank your Lordships very much.

[The Deputy Speaker]

I will first call the noble Lord, Lord Addington, in the usual way. The Question will then be put. Then I will call each speaker on the list in the usual way. I ask each speaker to ensure that their microphone is unmuted prior to speaking. Each speaker’s microphone will be returned to mute once they have finished speaking. In accordance with guidance agreed by the Procedure Committee, if Members are not listed, it is not possible to ask a supplementary question, nor to take part in the proceedings.
