Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Commons Councils (Standard Constitution) (England) Regulations 2010.


Commons Councils (Standard Constitution) (England) Regulations 2010

I did not say that it should be a 7:5 majority but that is where the reference is on the page; I meant paragraph 7.5 of the Explanatory Memorandum. Forgive me; I feel I have misguided the Minister. I am concerned about the difference between the words "substantial" and "majority", and I have laboured the point because, if that is what we agreed, it seems silly to back away from it. If I said "7.5" it was a reference, not a majority.
