Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cluster Munitions (Prohibition) Bill [HL].


Cluster Munitions (Prohibition) Bill [HL]

My Lords, the noble Lord will forgive me for interrupting him. I find it difficult to do so because I agree with everything he has said and would probably agree with everything he was going to say; but we do have to do something to defend the Companion to the Standing Orders of this House, which are clearly quoted at the top of the speakers list. If the noble Lord cannot be with us at the end, I suggest it would be a courtesy to the House if he concluded his remarks fairly swiftly and then took all our congratulations to his wife on her birthday.
