Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

Perhaps I might ask the noble Baroness about the length of the consultation period. The letter that I quoted from, dated 5 May 2011, from the noble Lord, Lord McNally, said: "““We are currently in the process of consulting the bodies concerned””." It is very unusual for a government consultation to go on for nine months. Have the Government started another consultation? It is very good to have such long consultations, but it is a bit unusual. When is the consultation on the Trinity House issue going to finish? I would be very grateful for the noble Baroness’s response.
