Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.

Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, I am doing what my noble friend has suggested, and I am not pouring cold water on anything. I want to illustrate the importance of legislation saying exactly what is meant and exactly the outcome that is wanted. There is an analogous case here. The former Mayor of London was subject to a statutory requirement to consult on extending the area of the congestion zone. He did so and the response was 85 per cent against, but he did it.
