Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) 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 am grateful to the Minister for giving way. I previously backed up what the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, said, albeit in perhaps a slightly less dramatic way, but there is certainly some reluctance there. Is the Minister saying that if we meet that reluctance in the coming weeks, when inevitably we will want to get factual information out of organisations, we can say to people, ““The Minister in the Lords, Lord Taylor of Holbeach, says that it’s okay for you to talk to us””? Can we use the Minister’s name in that way?
