Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) 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]

My speaking note says: "““Despite the noble Lord’s eloquence, it is difficult to see exactly why his amendment is really necessary””." My briefing note says: "““Looked at one way there is no tangible reason for resisting this apparently innocuous amendment””." I do not know whether I can accept the amendment just like that, as I do not know whether there is a parliamentary drafting point. I need to ensure that the noble Lord is not adding in something that I am not sure about—not that he would, of course. However, on the face of what he said I do not see a problem. Can I take the issue away and just check there isn’t something funny?
