Arrangement of Business

Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Tuesday 25th July 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, I join the noble Baroness in thanking all the staff of the House for their fantastic work over these last few months—and all Members of the House. I also thank the Labour Whips’ Office, which supports me and our Front Bench in what we do.

We actually get on pretty well in the usual channels. I have been opposite the noble Baroness for many years, in many posts, and we work well together. All I would say is that we should always endeavour not to have those really late nights. I think we make better decisions in more normal working hours than sitting into the wee hours of the morning. With that, I wish everyone a peaceful and restful summer.
