Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill.


Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

It does not feel very much like that in local government at the moment. It is right to say that things can be done but we have to do them almost by getting round the system and operating it—I do not want to say fiddle the system—in ways that were not necessarily intended, and it is not easy. I ought to respond to the suggestion that there are ““lots of people like Lord Greaves in local government””. I assure the Minister that I do not think there are, for good or ill. No doubt she is pleased that there are not very many of us here either, especially at half past 10 on a Committee night. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 110 agreed to. Clause 111 [Designated targets]: [Amendments Nos. 212A and 212B not moved.] Clause 111 agreed to. Clause 112 [Revision and addition of targets]: [Amendments Nos. 212BA to 212E not moved.] Clause 112 agreed to. Clause 113 [Designated targets: revision proposals]: [Amendments Nos. 212EA to 212P not moved.] Clause 113 agreed to. Clause 114 [Approval of revision proposal]: [Amendments Nos. 212Q and 212QA not moved.] Clause 114 agreed to. Clause 115 [Duty to publish information about local area agreement]: [Amendment No. 212R not moved.] Clause 115 agreed to. Clause 116 [Preparation of community strategy]: [Amendment No. 212RA not moved.]
