Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

I think that the noble Baroness did not understand my use of the word ““digression””. I took this to be a debate and a discursive opportunity to look at the issue of rural housing, and I certainly do not belittle it. As I explained carefully in my remarks, I do not just share an interest and a passion in this area; it is my origin, so I well understand the issues. I would not want to be misunderstood or misinterpreted.
