Proceeding contribution from Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

As I have explained before, it is for the convenience of the House that the opposition spokesman should speak last in all proceedings, including those in Grand Committee. Although I appreciate that that is less helpful in Grand Committee than on the Floor of the House, the reason is simply that it gives an indication to noble Lords who are not taking part in the debate that when they see that name up, the Minister will be coming next. I am merely trying to follow the procedures of the House.
