Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 June 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.

Policing and Crime Bill

I have taken part on a number of these panels and I should like the Minister to explain very carefully who in the Home Office will use his name to carry out this approval. When you sit on an appointments panel with a list of names that have already been approved, it is usual at the end of the session—the chief constable is usually there—to appoint a person immediately. You do not have to say, "Thank you all very much. We’ll let you know when the Secretary of State has given his ruling", knowing full well that it will not be the Secretary of State but one of his functionaries.
