Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Crossrail Bill.

Crossrail Bill

I support what the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, has said. Clause 41(3) is actually quite objectionable. It says: "““The Secretary of State may, on request or otherwise, direct the arbitrator as to results that are to be achieved by the agreement for which terms are to be determined by the arbitration””." It sounds very much as if you appoint an arbitrator and then the Secretary of State tells him what result he must come to. It certainly reads like that—and it is not the sort of thing that should appear in a Bill before your Lordships' House.
