Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton Excerpts

Monday 28th October 2013 Lords Chamber

[Lord Wallace of Saltaire]

My Lords, one of the reasons why the Government are attempting to encourage more mutuals in this area is that there is considerable evidence that people who work for mutuals have a much stronger sense of service, job satisfaction and co-operative working.

[Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Lab)]

My Lords, the Minister referred to one of the earlier questions as familiar. Does he accept that questions would become less familiar on the Order Paper if they were answered?

[Lord Wallace of Saltaire]

Yes.
