Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister and sorry to interrupt. I was trying to grasp why one needed a discretion, and the Minister has indicated that one needs one because not every order will be required to go through this procedure. That is why it says ““may”” and not ““must””. If that is the position, then I understand it.
