Proceeding contribution from Lord Mawhinney (Conservative) 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
Maybe I am a dinosaur too, but I have been listening carefully to what the noble Lord has been saying, and at least with dinosaurs there is perhaps an occasional element of resonance. He also said that his side was not filibustering but are seeking to persuade the Government to change their mind. How many hours does he think it is legitimate to take to seek to persuade the Government to change their mind before he accepts that they are not going to change their mind and that thereafter it is a filibuster?
