Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (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]

Heavens above, my Lords, I do not think that I can really be such a door-opener. What might we find? I say to all noble Lords that we have access to public bodies. Whether we are on the Front or the Back Benches in this House, we are capable of tabling Questions and we can find out facts. It is quite proper to do so if things are in the public domain. The Library is there to help us and, if we seek opinions, no doubt we all have contacts that we are able to use. I do not want this debate on the Bill to be stifled by ignorance but here we are talking about the consultation process that we are seeking to bring in through the Bill, once enacted.
