Baroness Hayman (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 December 2025

Debate

Arrangement of Business

Contribution

My Lords, very briefly, I am extremely grateful to the Chief Whip for what he has said. Enforcing the Companion is obviously a prime responsibility of the Whip, the Front Bench and the Government Whips, but it extends further. Would he confirm that any of the Whips can intervene and point out when the Companion is not being adhered to and that that applies to any Member of the House as well?
