Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 16 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Interim Report: Leader's Group on Members Leaving the House.


Interim Report: Leader's Group on Members Leaving the House

Perhaps I may ask my noble friend two very short questions. Whatever may be the option, is it not wholly essential that the due process by which any Member of this House has imposed a leave of absence should first be accepted by the House? Secondly, in respect of all our peerages, whether life peerages or hereditary peerages, ought not the approval of Her Majesty the Queen be sought as a matter of courtesy?
