Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.
Greater London Authority Bill
I, too, oppose the amendment. We should stop following what we believe is American practice. We do not have a presidential system in this country and I hope that we never will. As a number of colleagues pointed out, this is not in line with practice in local government or in public office generally. I see no virtue at all in the proposal and I hope that the Government will not feel at all attracted to it.
