Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL].

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

I am grateful for that response. In my view, the difference is that one word is modern and the other is old-fashioned. On representation and local authorities, the Minister referred to "one-third". On one occasion, he referred to "up to one-third". I never know what the phrase "up to" means when used with figures or statistics. I assume that the Minister meant to say "one-third" and that the words "up to" were a slip of the tongue.
