Debate between Lord Gardiner of Kimble and Lord Mackay of Clashfern

Thursday 11th July 2013 Lords Chamber

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble]

As I have just replied to the noble Baroness, the membership and indeed the chairman of that committee will be announced very shortly. It will be for that committee to ensure that its work is rigorously applied given the legal opinion that has been given.

[Lord Mackay of Clashfern]

My Lords, is there any particular reason why the membership of a committee of the Privy Council should contain only members of the Cabinet?

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble]

With regard to the membership of this committee, I had hoped to be helpful to your Lordships and to have been able to give the information this morning, but it will be announced very shortly.
