Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Reform.


House of Lords: Reform

My Lords, I am grateful for him raising this issue again. The purpose of producing a White Paper is to allow for debate and discussion and that is what we did. The Government would have done better to have had a widespread public consultation and debate before producing a draft Bill.
