My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.

Moved, That Standing Order No. 37 (Arrangement of the Order Paper) be suspended until the Summer Recess so far as is necessary to give the Government power to arrange the order of business; and that Standing Order No. 43 (No two stages of a Bill to be taken on one day) be suspended for the same period.—(Lord Soames.)

My Lords, may I ask whether the Motion means that three or more stages can or cannot be taken on one day?

Yes, my Lords it does.
