Constitution, Democracy and Rights Commission

Debate between Lord Bates and Lord True

Tuesday 16th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord True]

My Lords, I regret to say to my noble friend what I have said to other Members: I cannot answer that specifically. The Government are still considering these matters but, as with the other noble Lords I have answered, I will take close notice of what my noble friend says.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)]

My Lords, all supplementary questions have been asked so we will move on to the next Question. I will allow a few moments for the Front-Bench teams to change places.

Manifesto Commitments

Debate between Lord Bates and Lord True

Tuesday 16th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord True]

My Lords, we have moved slightly away from the manifesto. I do not know whether the noble Viscount saw the very friendly discussions yesterday between the Prime Minister and representatives of the Commission. There is a commitment on both sides to intensify negotiations to produce a satisfactory outcome. I remain confident that that is possible.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Question has now elapsed.
