Lord Field of Birkenhead Excerpts

Tuesday 19th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

For the benefit of others, the right hon. Member for Birkenhead (Frank Field) said, “26 October 2018, unless the Speaker can get him a better time.” That is a very novel interpretation of the procedure.

[Frank Field (Birkenhead) (Lab)]

Please, Mr Speaker.

[Mr Speaker]

He is exhorting me to find a better time.

[Frank Field]

It is about the abolition of the House of Lords. They are overruling us.

[Mr Speaker]

I think the right hon. Gentleman may be investing me with powers that it be would joyous to have, but which I do not possess. The House seems to be in a good mood at the moment.
