Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 10 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Lords Reform Bill [HL].


House of Lords Reform Bill [HL]

I know that we are on Report but that will not do. The noble Lord’s Bill is very clear on when the House may deem that a Member has taken permanent leave of absence. If we substitute ““shall”” for ““may””, surely that leads to a rather confusing picture. I rather resist this.
