Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (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 do not know whether it would be entirely fair on someone who might be a candidate or a nominee for the chair of Transport for London if their home address, landline and mobile phone numbers were made available to the regular users of bus and tube systems. I am not sure whether that would be entirely appropriate. Enormously heavy weather is being made of this. Clearly, a fair amount of information must be made available to the Assembly about the qualifications of candidates, but to suggest that the application form is necessarily the vehicle for it is slightly over the top.
