Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) on Wednesday, 10 February 2010.
House of Lords: Companion to the Standing Orders
- Question
- To ask the Leader of the House on how many occasions in the past 12 months she has intervened in the House to draw the House’s attention to the need to comply with the Companion to the Standing Orders; and what assessment she has made of the response of Members.
- Answer
-
My Lords, no such statistics are kept. In a self-regulating House, interventions to draw the House’s attention to the guidance in the Companion are not confined exclusively to the Leader. In the Leader’s absence, this role falls to the Deputy Leader or to the senior Government Whip present; and the opposition Front Benches and the Convenor also can and do draw transgressions to the attention of the House.
