Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords].


Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords]

With the greatest respect to my hon. Friend, it is for Parliament to legislate and for the judges to interpret that legislation. The interpretation placed on the 1871 Act by successive members of the judiciary is contrary to that of my hon. Friend. I think it is better for us to proceed on the basis that we should try to align these provisions with the existing common law interpretation.
