Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2026

Debate

Procedure and Privileges

Contribution

My Lords, I do not know whether the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, has ever been to a synagogue board meeting, but I can assure him that that is an exception to the rule which he put forward as to orderly conduct of business. More substantively, I would not appear in the High Court without a tie, and I would not want to appear in the High Court of Parliament without one either. I gently remind the noble Lord that, when Arthur Andersen introduced dress-down Fridays, a Savile Row tailor was asked whether that would be the end of the suit; he replied that it would be the end of Arthur Andersen—and he was right.
