Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Strathclyde (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 28 October 2009.


House of Lords: Lord Speaker

Question
My Lords, I suspect that the words of the noble Baroness will be welcomed throughout the House. Is it not true that Speakers have served the interests of this House for many hundreds of years, that we reviewed the situation only three or four years ago, and that the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, does an excellent job of presiding over our activities? Is it therefore not far too soon to review her role?
Answer

My Lords, I have answered that question; I think that there should be a review. At the moment it would be precipitate, but there should be a review.
