Proceeding contribution from Lord Smith of Leigh (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]
Scrutiny inevitably depends on how well those being scrutinised accept and respond to it. In Greater Manchester we accept that this is a serious matter—these people can scrutinise what we do and therefore we respond in a proper manner. That is probably even more important than putting it down in legislation because it requires that respect.
