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

Localism Bill

Perhaps I may make it clear that we voted on the original proposition because we believed that it would secure the best outcome. As that did not succeed, it is not inconsistent to want to see a lesser position that nevertheless improves on what is in the Bill. That is entirely sensible and reasonable. Whether we will be involved in those discussions is up to the Government. If they are going to bring something back—and I believe that that is the wish of the noble Lord, Lord Greaves—we will have an opportunity in this Chamber to join in the debate.
