National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Wednesday 8th January 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Livermore (Lab)]

I am not as expert in procedure as the noble Lord. I am happy to defer to my noble friend.

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

I am happy to confirm that you cannot have Divisions in Grand Committee.

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

The noble Lord has just taken the words out of my mouth. I was just about to address the procedure, which is that you cannot have Divisions in Grand Committee. This Bill may be small and technical, but it will have a massive impact on people up and down the country. For that reason, I beg to test the opinion of the House.
