Coroners and Justice Bill

My Lords, I remind noble Lords of the statement in the Companion on the interruption of speeches. At paragraph 4.37, it says: ""A member of the House who is speaking may be interrupted with a brief question for clarification … Lengthy or frequent interventions should not be made, even with the consent of the member speaking"." I hope that noble Lords will reflect on that before we have more interruptions that are neither brief nor clearly just for clarification.
