Business of the House

Lord Stoneham of Droxford Excerpts

Monday 30th January 2017 Lords Chamber

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach]

It is not for me to answer a hypothetical question. There will no doubt be opportunities for the exchange of communications between the two Houses in the event of a disagreement, but I am not prepared to give a direct answer to that particular question because it is hypothetical.

[Lord Stoneham of Droxford (LD)]

My Lords, on behalf of these Benches I thank the Government Chief Whip for his courtesy throughout these discussions and also for ensuring that we will have adequate time to see this legislation through the House with due scrutiny, rather than it being unduly speedy.
