Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 31 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

My Lords, I share my noble friend’s hope, not least because of the interest, which I have already indicated, that I am one of the people who could be dismissed in these circumstances. In Committee I indicated that I found it difficult to understand this phrase, which would be widely interpreted by persons who are not lawyers, or indeed by persons of any kind, as meaning ““for no reason””. That needs a bit of explanation before it is allowed to stay in the Bill. On the whole, I strongly support my noble friend’s amendment. I share the ambition that the noble Baroness should be her usual friendly self about it.
