Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

I support the noble Lord’s Amendments 1 and 175. What he said was wholly consistent with the acknowledged function of this House to protect the constitution and to amend the Bill as it goes through, to delay it and afford the other place an opportunity to reconsider or, indeed, to compromise. What the noble Lord said is wholly consistent with that. What the Opposition will say in a moment is not, so I am not speaking about the Opposition. This is a sound approach for the reasons that I have given and it was very well presented.
