Debate between Lord Campbell of Alloway and Baroness Wilcox

Monday 13th February 2012 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

Change is always difficult, but it does give us the opportunity to listen to things like my noble friend has just brought up, such as access to information. My noble friend knows, of course, that we are trying to streamline these things and bring them forward as fast as we can, but her point is well made.

[Lord Campbell of Alloway]

May I ask a very simple question? Is it not rather curious to rely on a decision of a first court on argument in this House until it has been accepted by the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court? The whole of my life has been dependent on decisions that have been rejected by both of them.
