Proceeding contribution from Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on Commonwealth.
Commonwealth
My Lords, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Howe, referred to the unanimity of views, which indeed may have been the case in this House. But when I was the Minister responsible in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a very large number of distinguished people, particularly from this House, wrote to me about the future of the Commonwealth Institute. They were very much divided as between those who wished to see it pulled down and those who wished to see it preserved.
