Infrastructure Bill [HL]

Lord Gardiner of Kimble Excerpts

Monday 10th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Judd]

Before the noble Lord sits down—

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Con)]

My Lords, I am looking at the Companion in terms of rules of debate on Report. We are getting quite close to contravening them and I would just like to say to noble Lords that we should be cautious of that.

[Lord Judd]

Before the noble Lord sits down, would he not agree that, whatever the value of the regulations and the means of implementing them that exist at the moment, it would be of considerable assistance to industry and those behind this important and vital initiative for the British economy to see clearly on the face of Bills such as this the areas on which they can and cannot concentrate their attention?
