Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].


Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

My Lords, that is extremely helpful. I had hoped that we were going to come to an end by fluxion of time at 10 pm and that the Minister would have time to prepare the answers which he understandably found it difficult to give tonight to my questions. That not being the case, I can tell the House that it has always been my intention to withdraw the amendment at this stage and to return to it, in so far as the rules of the House allow, at Third Reading. I am extremely grateful to all the noble Lords who have taken part and I include the noble Lord, Lord Borrie, who has immense knowledge of these matters. I would like to make quite a number of points in reply both to him and to the Minister, but if I start doing that now I will be another 10 or 15 minutes and that is not sensible. So at this stage, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment and we will return to the substantive issues later. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 50 to 52 not moved.]
