Proceeding contribution from Lord Saatchi (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
My Lords, I think I am fairly and exactly quoting what was said at the time in justification of the removal of the hereditary Peers. Will the Minister consider taking advice from me? Probably not, but if she did, it would be this. Put the stick away and take advice from my noble friend Lady Anelay. Take your colleagues, special advisers and officials to a nice country house hotel over Easter, make a day of it and then return to your Lordships’ House with something new to say that did not dwell on the past in the way in which I said the Government do at the moment. If she will not take my advice and look a little more to the future, will she take the advice of her own Prime Minister, whose favourite phrase was, I believe, ““Forward, not back””?
