Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Access to Justice Act 1999 (Destination of Appeals) (Family Proceedings) Order 2009.


Access to Justice Act 1999 (Destination of Appeals) (Family Proceedings) Order 2009

My Lords, the noble Lord is quite right to say that a powerful reason for my not pressing this matter any further is the fact that the Lord Chancellor has consulted the senior members of the judiciary. However, one does not know what concerns they raised with him before they signed these matters off. Some concerns may have been expressed—I am not asking the Minister to reveal the answer, even if he knows it; but because I have no knowledge of whether they were advanced, or if they were advanced how powerfully they were put, it would be quite improper of me within the conventions of this House to press the matter further.
