Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, before my noble friend sits down, the rubric states quite clearly the expectations that there are on Members of the House. Those are of course maximum time limits, not targets to be aimed for, but the document also says that Members “should not summarise or repeat at length points made by others, and if speaking more than once a Member should not repeat points they have already made”. I have already sat through a couple of hours of this Committee and heard that done repeatedly. Will the usual channels intervene if people deviate from the subject or are repetitious, and therefore ask them to sit down?
