HL Deb 17 June 1992 vol 538 c186
The Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne

My Lords, with the leave of the House I should like to say a word about the two debates standing in the names of the noble Lords, Lord MacLehose of Beoch and Lord Hylton. 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 Lord, Lord MacLehose of Beoch, this means that all other speeches should be limited to a maximum of 13 minutes and in that of the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, 14 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.
