Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

May I just respond to the Minister? The Government are quite wrong. This is the second occasion on which they have sought to curtail debate, but that is not their role. Members are entitled to take part in the debate as widely as they need to or want to. The Government should stop trying to intervene and control the timetable of this Committee by telling people not to speak.
