Lord Woolf (CB) [V]
My Lords, this is not an area that I normally get involved in in this House. However, having read the papers which were available to me, I realised that there is a deep problem here. Sometimes it does not help to rush in with a solution that just involves depriving one set of people of all rights, as has been indicated by previous speakers. For that reason, and having looked at the statutory provisions, I would support the noble Lord, Lord Ponsonby, but only go that far.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux) (Con)
The noble Baroness, Lady Bennett of Manor Castle, is with us.
