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

Localism Bill

I think that that was an acceptable answer. I understand that we cannot bring back the amendment that was defeated in the vote, but there are plenty of things in these amendments that we can talk about in relation to what the Bill states. That gives us sufficient leeway to talk about what we want to talk about. Whether the Government will extend their offer of discussions to the Opposition, who rudely threw it back in their face on the previous group of amendments, I do not know. I would welcome their participation, but that is up to the Government.
