Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

I should like to give an example of what my noble friend has just said. In Section 41 of the principal Act, the Mayor when preparing a strategy has to have regard to certain matters, which is on all fours with this clause, and the achievement of sustainable development in the United Kingdom, which was also mentioned by my noble friend. That is important, not just in itself, but in order to pre-empt someone being clever, drawing a distinction between the two phrases and undermining the good things which, under this Bill, ensure that they work well together, as well as being sensible, practical and recognising the problems to which my noble friend referred.
