HL Deb 15 March 2004 vol 659 c49
Lord Grocott

My Lords, before we start the Second Reading debate, I shall do what I usually do and remind the House of the arithmetic. We have a target rising time of ten o'clock. The figures are, very roughly, that if speeches were around eight minutes, we would hit that target rising time. If they were around 10 minutes, we would hit eleven o'clock. The rest is in the hands of your Lordships.
