Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Walliswood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 April 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Cohabitation Bill [HL].

Cohabitation Bill [HL]

I am extremely sorry to interrupt the noble Baroness. She is speaking to the amendments—hers is the leading name of the group who have tabled them—but she seems to be ranging over the whole purpose of the Bill and a lot of other things that are not directly connected with her amendments. We had an interesting Second Reading debate for which I was present throughout, and many people made extremely interesting speeches, including the noble Baroness. Should we not perhaps get back to the amendment?
