Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 27 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].
House of Lords Bill [HL]
My Lords, the noble Lord cannot have been listening to today’s debate, the whole emphasis of which was that the measures in the Bill need to be introduced now. There are strong arguments against delaying them until after the next general election. That was the whole thrust of the debate. These matters are urgent.
