Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts

Thursday 2nd July 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)]

I have a very good relationship with the noble Earl and I think he might be slightly flattered to be described as “strident”. I rest my case.

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

My Lords, before the Lord Speaker calls the third Question, I urge all Members—those asking and those answering questions—to be short, sharp, succinct and to the point. In that way, more Members can ask more questions of the Government, which I know the whole House wants.
