Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].


Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

I certainly do not want to press the point, and I do not want to get legalistic about this because I am among those many here, including the Minister, who are not lawyers, and I do not want to pretend that I have become one. However, the Judicial Appointments Commission will clearly have to consider people’s suitability for appointment, and this is an issue of suitability, on which I would have thought it could perfectly well be asked to play a part.
