Proceeding contribution from Lord Lipsey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

My Lords, I am sorry to be drawn by the noble Earl; one should know better by my age. Honestly—the idea that I made any such statement is completely ridiculous. My point was that Parliament is perfectly capable of stopping Ministers in many ways, as is shown by the fact that there is an increasing number of revolts by the governing party and an increasing risk of the Government’s defeat, which keeps Ministers decently inhibited.
