Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords Reform.

I think—from recollection—that the White Paper is silent on the dual mandate. I have never seen a problem with people serving on local authorities, but there would be an issue about serving on other bodies.
