The House met at 10.00 for a day considering Private Members Bills. The first Bill considered was the Disabled Person (Independent Living) Bill, introduced by Lord Ashley of Stoke. In the last session a similar bill had been passed in the House of Lords but ran out of time in the Commons. The bill was read a second time, and committed to a Committee of the whole House.

The Crossrail Bill was brought up from the House of Commons and read a first time.

Lord Selsdon began the 2nd Reading of his "Powers of Entry etc Bill" at 11.50. The House adjourned at 1.04pm after completing the 2nd Reading.
