Diplomatic Missions: Parking Fines

Lord Geddes Excerpts

Wednesday 21st October 2015 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Courtown]

My Lords, as the noble Lord, Lord Wright of Richmond, is very aware, our staff from his old department, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, pay their fines and abide by the regulations as much as they can.

[Lord Geddes (Con)]

My Lords, I wonder whether my noble friend can tell me why diplomatic cars are—what was the word?—inviolable.

[Noble Lords]

Inviable!
