House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

My Lords, the House decided earlier this morning the order in which it wanted to discuss a Private Members’ Bill. When it comes to government Bills, noble Lords will recall—as on many days—that we have a commitment Motion and the order in which things are to be debated is listed. Often that is in numerical order but sometimes, for the convenience of the House, it is put in a different order. With government business—this is not government business—that is done some days before the business comes before the House.
