Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Criminal Defence Service Bill [HL].


Criminal Defence Service Bill [HL]

Indeed, and I apologise to the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland. He has the benefit of having before him the precise words of my noble and learned friend and I do not. Rather than trying to deal with this now, I will make sure that there is an understanding. On the briefing I have here it states that there is a question about how the words are used, but I do not think that that will satisfy the noble Lord. I shall discuss this with my noble and learned friend—as he used the words, he will have the greatest clarity about precisely what was intended—and I will contact the noble Lord before the next stage of the Bill.
