Debate between Lord Bassam of Brighton and Baroness Northover

Tuesday 25th October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Northover]

My Lords, given that there is no dinner hour business tonight, we have agreed that instead of breaking now, we will sit without a break until 9 pm and therefore have a slightly earlier night.

[Lord Bassam of Brighton]

Does that mean that we will finish at nine o’clock or when the debate on an amendment finishes? There is a practice whereby we can carry the debate over; we do not have to complete it by that time. Will the noble Baroness clarify that point?
