Proceeding contribution from Earl Cathcart (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Local Government Bill [HL].


Local Government Bill [HL]

I thought that it was for Parliament to make the laws and for the judiciary to judge on them. In this instance, the judge said that what the Secretary of State did in coming to his decision was illegal and so he quashed it.
