The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Viscount Stansgate) (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 June 2025

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

Good afternoon, my Lords, and welcome to an afternoon of four Questions for Short Debate. If there is a Division in the Chamber, we will adjourn the Committee for 10 minutes, but, as can been seen from the screens, there will not be a Division. Indeed, if noble Lords do not mind my saying so, I rather wish this Committee was starting half an hour later so that I could ask a supplementary question in the spending review Statement about the importance of science and technology to the future growth of this country—however, it is my job. Indeed, I thought if I sang “Happy Birthday” to the noble Lord on his feet in the Chamber, I wonder how Hansard would report that, but that is a separate matter as well.
