Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.


Greater London Authority Bill

At Second Reading I referred to these clauses as being as complicated as a Fair Isle knitting pattern. I apologise to noble Lords that I have not made the process more like a stocking stitch. The noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, asked why, if there was no budgetary floor in Essex County Council, there should be one in London. Conversely, if it is wrong in London, it may be wrong in Essex also and we should look at changing the arrangements for Essex.
