Proceeding contribution from Lord Grocott (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].


Mental Health Bill [HL]

I am a little startled to have had this proposed without any notice whatever, particularly from a senior Deputy Speaker. If that is the determination, the noble Countess will have to move this to a Division. She knows perfectly well that if she moves a Motion and we have a Division on it, that takes another quarter of an hour, whatever happens. I request that the noble Countess does not do that at this stage. I have no intention, nor does anyone else, of going on ad infinitum, but we certainly have time to debate another group. I respectfully suggest that the noble Countess does not move a Motion to resume the House at this stage.
