Arrangement of Business

Lord Low of Dalston Excerpts

Friday 25th November 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Hughes of Woodside]

I know that we want to get on with it but I want to draw the noble Lord’s attention to the fact that the Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Steel of Aikwood, ran over by 20 minutes to accommodate him. Why can we not sit late to accommodate these Second Readings?

[Lord Low of Dalston]

My Lords, in the interests of not making things any worse than they already are, would it not make sense if we made immediate progress on the business in hand?

[Noble Lords]

Hear, hear!
