Proceeding contribution from Lord Baker of Dorking (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 10 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliament (Participation of Members of the House of Commons) Bill [HL].
Parliament (Participation of Members of the House of Commons) Bill [HL]
My Lords, the Greater London Assembly does not have legislative powers; it cannot create laws for London. It is a quite different situation. The noble Lord must appreciate that devolution changes everything. It is the power of a delegated parliament in this country to make its own laws for its own people.
