HL Deb 15 May 1991 vol 528 c1614
Viscount Davidson

My Lords, with the leave of the House I should like to say a few words about the two debates standing in the names of the noble Baroness, Lady Birk, and the noble Lord, Lord Ennals. As the mover is allowed 15 minutes and the Minister should rise to reply not less than 20 minutes before the scheduled end to the debate, in the case of both debates all other speeches should be limited to a maximum of seven minutes. If any noble Lord were to speak at greater length he would be doing so at the expense of subsequent speakers in that debate.
