Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [HL].

Serious Crime Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that response. I take it that some of the amendments cover matters that will be for the Home Office, while some will be matters for—I think I have the quotation from her down correctly— "““the Secretary of State for justice, or whatever title he or she may carry””." Do I then take it that we are going to see the abolition of the title ““Lord Chancellor””, a title, the Minister will remember, that this House fought hard to save on an earlier occasion after the attempt that I have referred to by the Prime Minister to abolish that post by what we might describe as executive fiat?
