Baroness Watkins of Tavistock (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

My Lords, I want to make the point that the Companion asks us not to read long speeches if people have already made the points in the section that we are discussing. When we were dealing with the Mental Health Act, which I think was equally important, I had written long speeches that I then reduced by saying that I completely agreed with points that had been made by other Peers. I would encourage us to adopt a similar approach in our debate today.
