Proceeding contribution from Lord Hurd of Westwell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech.


Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech

My Lords, I am sorry to distract the Lord Chancellor from his party sallies, but could he say a word about the Appointments Commission? He praised the Government's record in having set it up in the previous Parliament. There was a proposal to put it on a statutory basis. As a member of the present commission, I very much hope that there will be a statutory body. Is that part of the Government's proposals?
