Proceeding contribution from Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Speakership: House Committee Report.


Speakership: House Committee Report

My Lords, two small matters have not yet been mentioned. One is that if the Lord Speaker is going to be a £29,000 salaried clerk, there may not be very many candidates for the job. The other point is that while he may have to sit on the Woolsack for only three hours every day, he will have to be here every sitting day, so he may find it very difficult to earn a living outside the Chamber. Both those points need to be kept in mind.
