HL Deb 16 November 2004 vol 666 c1304
Lord Grocott

My Lords, with permission, I shall say a few words about business tomorrow and on Thursday. The House will be well aware that parliamentary life is not entirely predictable, but it is particularly unpredictable in the last two days before prorogation. Therefore, although my colleagues and I will obviously make sure as far as we can that everyone knows precisely the order of business, I ask noble Lords to keep an eye on the annunciator from time to time and switch it from whatever channel they are watching at the time. That would be appreciated.

On the precise timing on the Pensions Bill and the Hunting Bill, as the House will know, the Commons is currently considering those Bills. We shall have the Commons amendments in print tomorrow morning. So far as this House is concerned, the deadline for tabling Motions and amendments in respect of the Pensions Bill and the Hunting Bill will be noon tomorrow.
