Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 January 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

Yes, it is Schedule 5; I would like to see Schedule 7 removed from the Bill. It is very difficult to know why the noble Baroness’s department is not using the Bill in the way in which it is constructed. Schedule 5 is headed ““Power to modify or transfer functions: bodies and offices””. Why on earth is the FLA not in that schedule?
