Infrastructure Bill [HL]

Lord Haskel Excerpts

Thursday 17th July 2014 Grand Committee

Relevant documents: 2nd and 3rd Reports from the Delegated Powers Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Haskel) (Lab)]

My Lords, if there is a Division in the Chamber while we are sitting, the Committee will adjourn as soon as the Division Bells are rung and will resume after 10 minutes.

[Lord Teverson (LD)]

My Lords, may I raise a procedural issue? I am not sure what the procedure is for Committee but, given that we are talking about zero-carbon homes and climate change and that it is a very hot day, if it gets too hot may we be allowed to relax our standards within Grand Committee—we are not in the Chamber—and remove our jackets? I think I need the Deputy Chairman’s permission to do that in due course.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I gladly give my permission.

[Lord Teverson]

Thank you.
