Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 January 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Before my noble and learned friend answers the noble Lord, Lord Tyler, perhaps I could clarify that while I have asked the noble and learned Lord the Minister to express on behalf of the Government their expectation of a high standard of publicity and consultation, it would certainly not be my view that we should resort to exhortation in the language of the Bill but rather that we should state a requirement in the language of the Bill.
