HL Deb 28 March 1990 vol 517 c875
Lord Denham

My Lords, with the leave of the House, I should like to say a word about the two Short debates standing in the names of the noble Baroness, Lady Stedman, and the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Hillhead. As the mover is allowed 15 minutes and the Minister should rise to reply not less than 20 minutes before the scheduled end of the debate, in the case of the short debate in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Stedman, this means that all other speeches should be limited to a maximum of six minutes and in that of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, 10 minutes. If any noble Lord should speak at greater length, it would be at the expense of subsequent speakers in the debate.
