Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026
Debate
Arrangement of BusinessContribution
I know that we are all in politics and we have to adjust, and the House has its natural rhythms, but I have to say that this discriminates against anybody who has to travel a significant distance. We are against discrimination in this House, and I do not think that discriminating on the basis of geography is fair. We will have to revisit this and see whether we can find a way forward that meets the will of the House expressed last Thursday, while at the same time not excluding or effectively disadvantaging those of us who have to travel a significant distance.
