Speaker
Baroness Anelay of St JohnsConservative
Quote
My Lords, the Companion says that First Readings are not a matter for debate. On the matter that the noble Lord raised, he referred to the hijacking of the Bill. The Government have not hijacked it. It is a Private Member’s Bill. The hijacking has been carried out by those, including the noble Lord, who have tabled an excessive number of amendments.
