HL Deb 13 December 2001 vol 629 c1540

Brought from the Commons; read a first time, and to be printed.

Lord Carter

My Lords, for the benefit of my colleagues, I am tempted to say that the Whip is off, the roster stays.

I beg to move that the House do now adjourn during pleasure until 12.25 a.m. For those of your Lordships who wish to be absolutely sure that the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill receives Royal Assent, you are extremely welcome to join us in the Chamber. However, three of us will be here to ensure that it does receive Royal Assent.

Moved accordingly, and, on Question, Motion agreed to.

[The Sitting was suspended from 12.4 to 12.25 a. m.]
