Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
Two and a half hours. To the Speaker of the House of Commons, it may have seemed two and a half years. The Speaker got to his feet and said very politely to him, ““Mr Healy, for quite some time now I have been trying to associate your argument with the matter before the House””. Healy said: ““Mr Speaker, sir, I apologise profusely. In which case, I have no alternative but to repeat the whole of my remarks””. Nothing like that has happened in this place, and I certainly, apologia pro vita mea, et the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Swynnerton, plead that we did not come within a thousand miles of doing that.
