Baroness Butler-Sloss
Main Page: Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench - Life peer)My Lords, I am sure that everybody would say amen to that. Unfortunately, it is not quite within my brief to deal with how legislation is constructed. I guess that it probably has a history which goes back generations. That is not to say that it should not be modernised, but I think that it will be in somebody else’s hands rather than mine.
My Lords, I wonder whether the Minister would consider asking the Law Commission to look at this, particularly in the light of what the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, has said.
My Lords, I hear what the noble and learned Baroness says and I will see what the response to that is from other sources.
