HL Deb 10 June 2004 vol 662 c382
Lord Grocott

My Lords, before we start the Second Reading of the Pensions Bill and for the avoidance of doubt, I point out that we have an Unstarred Question scheduled today for lunch-time business. I am sure that all noble Lords will agree that it is common sense that that is taken at the conclusion of the first Second Reading debate and before the start of the next Second Reading debate. It is not clear when that will be, but I shall assume it will be around 2.30 p.m. I can be slightly more precise if everyone is able to abide by my second suggestion, which is that, if Back-Bench contributions on the two Second Reading debates are restricted to 10 minutes, we should still meet the target rising time of 7 p.m.
