Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I am very happy, in so far as that is directed at me, to bear it in mind. Of course, I could be quicker in challenging the Minister when I sum up. I am not summing up, of course; I am actually testing him on his response to the points I made in moving my amendment. I would be a great deal quicker if he had properly addressed them to my satisfaction in the course of his speech. When Ministers do that, I shall of course be briefer. But, if the Minister does not do that, then, with every respect to the noble Lord, I shall take exactly as long as is needed, because we are in Committee and those rules do not apply. I will not be curtailed. After all, thanks to the noble Lord and the Whips, we have five hours, not four, to play with.
