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

I can quite see the noble Lord’s concerns, but the committee did not feel that it was going too far in this reduction, which of course in February, other than in leap years, would mean no change. In some other months, it will mean a change from 31 days to 28 and in others from 30 to 28. Given the difference between 31, 30 and 28 in February, except for leap years, it would not have been sensible to have phased it in any other way than to make it 28 days right around the year. Motion agreed.
