Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech.


Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech

My Lords, I understood that the Joint Committee would be concerned, rightly or wrongly, with looking at the procedures of this House, and not issues such as composition. Is that right? The Minister seems to be implying that the Joint Committee will produce a stage two, which does not seem consistent with what was said in the manifesto.
