Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [HL].


Employment Bill [HL]

Before the Minister sits down, I do not wish to take advantage but he said something that was quite shocking. He seemed to indicate that as the Minister responsible for taking this Bill through the House, he might not be available to do that. Has the ministerial code of conduct changed since my day when a Minister’s first duty was to Parliament and to legislation before the House?
