Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I beg to move that the House do now resume. In moving the Motion, may I suggest that the Committee stage begin again not before 8.30 pm? For the benefit of the House, I ought perhaps to point out that the timing on the Unstarred Question for Back-Bench contributions is stated as nine minutes. If that were to be followed through and all noble Lords were to use the maximum and the opening and winding speeches were to the maximum as well, we would be running well over the 60 minutes permitted. So may I suggest to noble Lords that they use eight minutes, which will take us fractionally over the hour? Moved accordingly, and, on Question, Motion agreed to.
