Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill (HL).
Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]
I am grateful to my right hon. Friend, not least because three years ago almost to the day I introduced a private Member’s Bill to set up an older people’s rights commissioner, which embraced similar issues. Can the Secretary of State reassure me that, in promoting and safeguarding the rights and dignity of older people and tackling poverty in Wales, some aspects of the Bill will allow investigations and enforcement to take place over the English border? Will it not create anomalies unless and until we have an older persons’ rights commissioner covering England as well?
