§ The Earl of Strathmore and KinghorneMy Lords, with the leave of the House, I should like to say a word about the two debates standing in the names of my noble friends, Lady Cumberlege and Lord Laing of Dunphail. 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 my noble friend Lady Cumberlege, this means that all other speeches should be limited to a maximum of eight minutes and in that of my noble friend Lord Laing of Dunphail, six 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.
