Proceeding contribution from Lord Tomlinson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 20 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].


House of Lords Bill [HL]

My Lords, my noble friend Lord Lea provided for me what I thought was the nightmare scenario; that is, the unrobing of Jack Straw’s committee by some sort of seven veils striptease. However, at the end of his speech, I merely reflected that, however this committee is described, it does not represent me or, I suspect, the majority of my Labour colleagues on the Back Benches. It has no authority to speak in our name.
