Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

Perhaps I may also ask a question that I kept forgetting to put to the Minister in the excitement of our previous conversations. The system for inflicting a penalty has no independent appeal to it. The local authority is judge, jury and executioner in its own cause. Does this pattern have a precedent? It appears that no form of tribunal is available to an employer in front of which it might make a case. Even the poor old motorist gets a hearing of some sort.
