Proceeding contribution from Lord Tope (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am not going to be caught this time. I thank the Minister for moving this enormous number of amendments. I wonder, in passing, whether agreeing 170 amendments in such a short time will entitle us to an entry in the Guinness book of records or, indeed, the House of Lords records. I am delighted to see these amendments, and congratulate the Minister on finding so many more instances than I did when I proposed a mere 45 amendments of the exact same kind. This change is very welcome and sensible, and one that we certainly strongly support—as does, I know, the Electoral Commission.
