Proceeding contribution from Lord Brabazon of Tara (Non-affiliated) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 28 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Procedure Committee.

Procedure Committee

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Norton of Louth, makes an interesting point. I assure the House that if a Lord Speaker resigned in the timetable that he envisages, it would certainly not be the intention that the new Lord Speaker would not then take office until the following September. I am afraid that I cannot give the noble Lord a precise answer to whether we have made a mistake in this. I hope that we have not but I shall have to write to him. However, that is certainly not the intention.
