Leave of the House or of a committee of the House must be unanimous in those cases where, if leave were granted, the House or committee would be deprived of a Question which would otherwise have been put from the Woolsack or the Chair. In all other cases where leave is sought, it is granted by a majority of the House and the objection of a single peer does not suffice to withhold it.
