Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].


Public Bodies Bill [HL]

My Lords, the policy of the law over the past few years has been to focus more attention on tribunals and to do so because they are quicker and cheaper than the courts and they often have expertise that judges, for all their qualities, do not have. Surely we should be very slow indeed to abolish the body which will help to ensure that this policy of the law is promoted efficiently, economically and in an independent manner.
