Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

My Lords, I support the noble Baroness in this amendment; it is right that she brings it to the attention of the House after our previous debates. As I understand it, the Mayor says that he is taking his bat and ball home because this proposal is not workable. What is sad is that that response is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is not the Government’s responsibility to get the Mayor out of a pickle, but this is strong leadership which needs redirection.
