HL Deb 24 June 1971 vol 320 cc986-7
EARL ST. ALDWYN

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend the Leader of the House, I beg to move the Motion standing in his name on the Order Paper.

Moved, That Standing Order No. 36 (Arrangement of the Order Paper) be dispensed with on Monday next for the purpose of enabling the Lord Drumalbyn's Motion on the Code of Industrial Relations Practice to be taken before the National Insurance Bill and the Industrial Relations Bill.—(Earl St. Aldwyn.)

LORD DAVIES OF LEEK

My Lords, is this the right point at which to ask what the Motion says?

THE LORD CHANCELLOR (LORD HAILSHAM OF ST. MARYLEBONE)

My Lords, I think the noble Lord will find it on the Order Paper.

LORD DAVIES OF LEEK

My Lords, I am really asking what the Motion means.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, that is a question which should be asked of the mover of the Motion, and not the Lord Chancellor.

EARL ST. ALDWYN

My Lords, I thought it was fairly clear from the Order Paper. This is merely to enable the Code to be discussed before we get on to the Report stage of the Industrial Relations Bill.

LORD DAVIES OF LEEK

Ah, my Lords; I am happy now!

On Question, Motion agreed to.
