Lord Harper (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Chief Whip for the remarks he made earlier and the response that he made in writing to me following the remarks I made at the end of the last session when we had adjourned mid-group. He has committed to make the list that the clerks will compile of those that were present at the beginning of the group available to the various Whips’ offices and the Cross-Benchers so that they can be circulated and everyone is then clear about who was here, which will hopefully avoid the confusion that we had at the beginning of the session a few weeks ago where it was not entirely clear who was present. I think we ended up having some extra speeches from people who perhaps were not necessarily here at the beginning, so I thank him very much for that helpful advice. On the other points that have been made, very briefly, there absolutely has not been any filibustering.
