Insurance Bill [HL]

Lord Sewel Excerpts

Tuesday 25th November 2014 Lords Chamber

Moved by

[The Chairman of Committees]

Further to the resolution of the House of 19 November 2014 appointing a Special Public Bill Committee to consider the Bill, that the Committee have the power to appoint a specialist adviser.

[The Chairman of Committees (Lord Sewel)]

My Lords, last week, the House appointed a Special Public Bill Committee to consider the Insurance Bill. That committee has since met and has agreed that it would be desirable to appoint a specialist adviser. While it is unusual for a Special Public Bill Committee, I consider the technical nature of this particular Bill a good and sufficient reason to grant the committee the power to appoint a specialist adviser. I beg to move.

Motion agreed.
