Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill [HL].


Energy Bill [HL]

My Lords, on a point of order. I do not know if one can do this on this Committee, but we are breaking for 10 minutes but the vote has not finished yet. I realise that you have exercised a degree of flexibility, but we are going to have a number of Divisions. Surely we should have breaks commensurate with the length of time it takes for the Division to be held and announced next door, because, at the moment, we are having a Division on closure followed by a Division on substantive amendments, and the two follow one after the other.
