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

While the noble Lord, Lord Hanningfield, is working on his retort, perhaps I may say that I am a little confused by the words in the amendment which seem not to be quite what the noble Lord was arguing for. The amendment requires the strategy to be, "““in general conformity with national policies and strategies””—" leave aside whether we know what national policies they are—but the wording in the Bill at the top of page 41 is ““to take into account”” and on page 43 ““to have regard to””. I had understood those phrases to be looser and to give more flexibility than a requirement to be ““in general conformity with””.
