public. the one that causes most concern is the fact that the virtual proceedings won't be broadcast on that until twot be possible for the public to observe what is going on it which is a breach of all the precedents in terms of parliamentary proceedings and i think is a matter of very great concern. could the chief whip tell us what the government's intentions are in respect of the publication and broadcast of the virtual proceedings? would the chief whip agree with me that for anything other than a very short period of time whilst technical difficulties are sorted, it is absolutely unacceptable that the proceedings of this house are not broadcast? a peer who is a professor of nursing said it was important for lords to do theirjob responsibly. at the end of the previous session i was quite distressed when some members of this house felt that closing early and looking to the future is not necessarily the best thing, and i said at that time that we were at the beginning of a public health crisis, that we couldn't imagine, and i think in the last three weeks, our imagination has become a reality. and t
