Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Working Practices.


House of Lords: Working Practices

My Lords, on that subject, under this so-called self-regulatory regime, it is extremely difficult for individual Members, who may feel embarrassed, to stand up, thereby asking others to sit down. That is why self-regulation does not work. Very few of us are prepared to get up and challenge others. There is a great onus on those on the Front Bench to do that, but very often they do not.
