Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Equality Bill (HL).

Equality Bill [HL]

I support my noble friend Lady Carnegy. She has put the case admirably. I suppose that the Government could argue that the Bill as it stands would leave only people of inadequate experience. But as my noble friend has explained, there may be people of great experience who could be included. In this clause we are dealing with who the Attorney-General or, in Scotland, the Advocate General, may appoint. Surely, we ought to leave to their discretion whom they wish to chose.
