Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

I thank the Minister for giving way. My question is about the use of this phrase ““impugning the integrity”” when looking at the views on a committee. Let us take as an example the committee with which the noble Baroness is involved that is looking at the future of this House. I think that I can say that all the people on that committee have a view on the reform of this House that is not in line with the feelings in the rest of the House. Her committee represents a particular view and, when it reports, I think that we will be entitled to say, ““Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?””.
