Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [HL].


Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I want to make a brief intervention. I listened to most of the Second Reading debate. My noble friend Lord Newby spoke on behalf of this bit of the coalition and we felt that one speech between us was probably enough on that occasion. What we have here is a temporary situation that is on very sensitive ground. We all agree there. I do not know if the noble Lord, Lord Sassoon, is getting an award for this, but he gave the most detailed explanation of an amendment that I have heard over many years in this House.
