Crime and Policing Bill

Debate between Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames and Baroness Falkner of Margravine

Consideration of Commons amendments and / or reasons
Thursday 16th April 2026 Lords Chamber

[Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames (LD)]

My Lords, I hope I will be permitted to speak briefly. I have followed the arguments on all these matters throughout these proceedings.

[Baroness Falkner of Margravine (CB)]

My Lords, my understanding of the Companion is that the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, is correct in what he said: if it wishes, the House can set aside the Companion and hear from a noble Lord, but in that case a Motion has to be put and voted upon.

[Lord Walney (CB)]

My Lords, I do not know whether this is helpful in any way—probably not—but as the proposer of the Motion, I really would appreciate hearing what the noble Lord on the Front Bench has to say on it.
