Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Strategic Defence and Security Review.

Strategic Defence and Security Review

My Lords, the noble Lord needs to calm himself down. It is well precedented over many years that 20 minutes of Back-Bench time is allowed after a Statement. I know that this is a considerable and important Statement, which is why the usual channels have already agreed that there should be a whole day’s debate devoted to this subject. I know that many noble Lords wanted to speak, including three former Secretaries of State for Defence whom I can see on the other side. We should hear from them all, and I look forward to the opportunity. But we should now carry on with the next business. That would be in accordance with our rules.
