Proceeding contribution from Lord Birt (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Media: News Corporation.
Media: News Corporation
My Lords, this is profoundly unreasonable. My office called the Whips’ Office this morning, not yesterday, and was told that the debate was likely to start at 12.30 pm. I have not prepared a two-minute speech; I have prepared a longer speech, and I am not willing to speak for two minutes. I have never, and would never, wish to be discourteous in any way to this House. Again, I ask the House to allow me to make the speech that I have prepared.
