Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 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 should make it clear that what I am about to say is not said as chairman of the Council on Tribunals, an interest I have repeatedly declared in these proceedings, but simply as a Member of the Committee. Regardless of the drafting of the substitute proposition, I find it a little difficult to sign up to the proposition that people can be dismissed ““without cause””—which, in plain English, apparently means ““for no reason””. There needs to be a good explanation before the Committee can be expected to sign up to that proposition.
