Insolvency Bill [H.L.] (Hansard, 13 June 2000)

HL Deb 13 June 2000 vol 613 c1521 1521

§ 3.12 p.m.

§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey
My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.
Moved, That it be an instruction to the Grand Committee to whom the Insolvency Bill [H.L.] has been committed that they consider the Bill in the following order:

Clause 1,

Schedule 1,

Clause 2,

Schedule 2,

Clause 3,

Schedule 3,

Clauses 4 to 8,

Schedule 4,

Clauses 9 to 17,

Schedule 5.—(Lord McIntosh of Haringey.)

§ Lord Tebbit
My Lords, I hesitate to raise the issue in such erudite company but should not the Motion refer to the Grand Committee "to which" the Insolvency Bill has been committed rather than "to whom"?

§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey
My Lords, perhaps I may give a conservative answer to the noble Lord. It always has been phrased in that way. I think that the authorities of the House may well wish to look into the matter.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
