Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Williams of Elvel (Labour). It was answered by Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 October 2011.
Companion to the Standing Orders
- Question
- To ask the Leader of the House who is responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the Companion to the Standing Orders are respected.
- Answer
-
My Lords, as Leader of the House I have a particular responsibility to advise the House on procedure and order. However the Companion makes clear that because the House is self-regulating, the preservation of order and the maintenance of the rules of debate are the responsibility of the House itself, of all the Members who are present. It is open to any Member to draw the House’s attention to breaches of order at any time.
