Enterprise Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Snape and Lord Stoneham of Droxford

Wednesday 4th November 2015 Grand Committee

[Lord Snape]

Does the noble Lord realise that he has just made a very effective case for the argument we are putting from this side of the Committee?

[Lord Stoneham of Droxford]

My Lords, the arguments have been very well put by the noble Lord, Lord Whitty. I support them and there is no point repeating them. These provisions are largely probing because the events of the last week mean that we are going to have to give greater attention to this. I had the inevitable job of dealing with the Member for Leeds North West on the basis of the assurances I had from the Minister. I hope she will be helpful in her reply so that when I go back to him he will not tell me, “I told you so”.
