Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 22 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords (Amendment) Bill [HL].
House of Lords (Amendment) Bill [HL]
My Lords, it is not necessarily a matter only for the House. If the Clerks believe that an amendment is not in order and a noble Lord insists on tabling it, they have occasionally written to the Lord Speaker and, before that, to the Lord Chancellor. The effect of the letter, in the only recent case that has occurred, has been to persuade the noble Lord in question to withdraw the amendment.
