Proceeding contribution from Baroness Rawlings (Conservative) 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]

With respect to the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, I have just said that the FLA will not be abolished until after 2012. We believe that there is a strong rationale for doing so, while acknowledging and seeking to protect the benefits associated with its important public functions. The Government will continue to support the Private Member’s Bill and will work with Parliament to secure what we hope will be an extremely positive outcome. On this basis, I hope the noble Lord will feel able to withdraw his amendment.
