Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL].
Equality Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. It is important to us to know the Official Opposition position. I know of no basis for saying that this commission can be beyond judicial review. If the noble Lord or his party have the slightest basis for saying that, could they inform the House? It is suggesting something which would be outrageous were there any basis for it. The noble Baroness, Lady Miller of Hendon, made the same allegation. It is, if I may say so, baseless and entirely legally illiterate. Therefore, I would like it to be dealt with.
