Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley. The noble Lord knows what my opinion is about going to bed at 10 o’clock. In the Companion to the Standing Orders it says it is a firm convention, although the noble Lord says it is a firm convention sometimes, and I might agree with him. The management of the business is absolutely atrocious. I have never seen so many amendments grouped together. When you have a number of speakers with different amendments, you are bound to get a long debate on each of these topics. It is time that the business managers looked to managing the business properly.
