Proceeding contribution from Lord Richard (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 hope that I may say a word on this. We had this discussion some weeks ago. My own position on it was very simple; there should be a mechanism for deciding whether or not the non-payment was intentional or was due to circumstances beyond the individual’s control. If the noble Lord, Lord True, persists with this amendment, I am afraid that I will have to oppose it. If, on the other hand, he wants to talk about it and withdraw it, that would be a very good result indeed.
