Proceeding contribution from Lord Desai (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]

My Lords, I make the same request to the noble Lord, Lord True. Amendment 280, which was moved but later withdrawn by the noble Earl, Lord Caithness, proposes that there should be a right of appeal in case something is not quite right. We must always take the charitable view that if someone cannot pay back what they owe, there may be a reason for that other than intent. We ought to allow room for exceptions in certain circumstances.
