Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
I am sorry if I was not clear. The concern was not about being open and transparent with the Secretary of State, but about the process of a referendum laying bare some difficult situations that could prejudice the outcome of those so far as the wider public is concerned. Obviously, in due course, everything would have to be properly reported and accounted for in the public domain, but there could be some sensitivity around issues just at the point where the referendum might be undertaken. That is the issue we are seeking to safeguard.
