Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].


Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

Yes, I will take it away and consider it. This may be a surprise to the Committee, but we hope that the Bill that comes out of this process will be better than the one that went in. This is one of those points where we think that the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson, has a substantial argument in his amendment. We are persuaded that there is a need for a limitation of some sort on the number of ex officio members beyond what is currently in the Bill. There will be a need for some consideration of the precise formula, which I hope the noble Lord will understand. I invite him to withdraw his amendment so that we can return to this matter on Report.
