Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

I thank the Government for enabling my honourable friend to leave his mark on the legislation. I have a couple of questions. Is it envisaged that an order might provide for a first-tier tribunal to have jurisdiction in some but not all the three cases set out in Clause 121(1)? Secondly, I am not trying to put anything into the Government’s mind or to suggest that a particular position is being taken—I simply do not know. Is it implicit in this that there would be a right of appeal, either generally or on a point of law, from the tribunal to the High Court? If those questions are more easily answered afterwards, I would be happy to receive a letter.
