Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill.

Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 89 not moved.] Clause 53 agreed to. Clause 54 [Amendment of existing provisions about schemes for ordinary elections]: [Amendment No. 90 not moved.] Clause 54 agreed to. Clause 55 [Requests for single-member electoral areas]:
