Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on House of Lords Bill [HL].
House of Lords Bill [HL]
One of the great problems of proposing a purpose clause, which, as the House knows, I oppose, is that inevitably it leads to generalisations about the purpose of the Bill. Some noble Lords are rather keen on the idea of purpose clauses but on the whole I am not. This short debate demonstrates why purpose clauses are not very useful.
