Proceeding contribution from Lord Patten (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on British Humanist Association: Reports.


British Humanist Association: Reports

My Lords, I believe that your Lordships’ House is a debating Chamber, not a reading-out-of-speeches Chamber. Therefore, if my noble friend Lord Mawhinney or any other noble Lord wishes to intervene in my speech, even though I am allowed only seven minutes, I will happily give way, because I believe in debate.
