Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (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 hate to disagree with a noble and learned friend and former Lord Chancellor, but I have to disagree with the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay. It is quite clear that this is posited on the basis that, having had the consultation, having considered all things, the Minister then considers it appropriate to proceed with the making of an order. That is perfectly clear. He is then en route to making an order. It then goes on to say, "““the Minister may lay before Parliament””," but surely, once the Minister is committed to making an order, he must lay it before Parliament.
