Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 March 2026

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe it is time for me to make another announcement to the House in the next few days. It is important that the Government are properly scrutinised, and that during Questions we ask questions that are short, sharp and to the point. What we do not want at any time is speeches and stuff. If need be, I will come back to the Chamber fairly shortly to remind colleagues of how the Companion should be operated, and that we all need to work to ensure that the Government are properly scrutinised. If we follow the Companion, we will not go far wrong.
