Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord is quite right to make that point. I was not trying to suggest that the Delegated Powers Committee would comment on it. As a government, we are always minded to think about the invaluable role played by the Delegated Powers Committee in ensuring that when we take such order-making powers, we do so in a measured way. That was really the only point in which I was agreeing with the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart.
