Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I join other noble Lords in warmly congratulating the noble Earl on the manner in which this matter has now been put back on track. The noble Lord, Lord Tope, said that most of us would not have wished to have started from here, but where we are ending owes very much to the thoroughness, attention to detail and decisiveness of the noble Earl—qualities in which he emulates his distinguished grandfather. It is some 49 years since I had the pleasure of meeting the noble Earl’s grandfather and he made a significant impression on me, young as I was at that time. The noble Earl is doing so again today, not merely to me but to all Members of your Lordships' House.
