Proceeding contribution from Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL].


Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

Perhaps I may clarify this matter. Giving the commissioner power to enter an individual’s private home would be a disproportionate interference with an individual’s right to privacy and a breach of the Human Rights Act. I hope that that is an extremely powerful argument against the amendment.
