Proceeding contribution from Lord Jenkin of Roding (Conservative) 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 do not want to lengthen the debate, but it is a matter of a lack of consistency. I hope that the Minister will take this away with the possibility of moving an amendment on Report to achieve consistency. I do not know whether any statutory instruments will be necessary. I always work on the basis of the statutory Interpretation Act which says firmly that the masculine shall embrace the feminine. That is a very good aphorism. Perhaps I may leave the thought with her. Clause 4 agreed to. Schedule 1 [Confirmation hearings etc: Schedule 4A to the GLA Act 1999]:
