Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [HL].

Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the noble Lord. I just want to point out the obvious fact. The noble Lord is absolutely right that only a two-thirds majority is required. But I am absolutely right to say that if agreement was reached by those two-thirds, we would be in exactly the position I described. Whether it is unanimous, one holding a veto or two-thirds, if, as a consequence of the amendments, we end up with no concession scheme in London, I think that I am right to resist them.
