Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 June 2025

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

My Lords, before we consider the Commons message on the data Bill, I remind the House again of the importance of applying some discipline to ping-pong. We have now spent 42 hours debating the Bill as a whole, including nearly eight hours on the last three rounds of ping-pong. The remaining issue is well known to Peers and the arguments have been rehearsed at length, so I ask noble Lords to minimise contributions and keep any interventions brief, succinct and to the point. I am grateful in advance to all noble Lords. I have asked the Whips to continue to monitor the situation and intervene if necessary.
