Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

My Lords, I cannot resist it, especially since I am well known to be classified as unsuitable by my Front Bench. I have some sympathy with the argument that has just been advanced. It is quite difficult to see what is not included in ““unable”” or ““unfit”” that is then covered by ““unsuitable”” that ought not to be covered. It depends on matters of judgment that could include political or personal judgment that would not be a proper consideration. I just want to know what is thought to be desirably covered by unsuitable that is not covered by the other words.
