Sir Nicholas Dakin
That is exactly what the Lord Chancellor is saying.
Tony Vaughan (Folkestone and Hythe) (Lab)
Does the Minister agree that there is a fatal flaw in the case of the shadow Justice Secretary: his party worked for months to develop the very guidelines about which they now complain? Does the Minister further agree that rather than desperately scoring an own goal for his party, the right hon. Member should get behind this Government’s reforms to clear up the mess left by the Conservatives?
Sir Nicholas Dakin
To be fair to the Conservatives, they did not work on the guidelines, but they were consulted on them, and they did respond to them in a positive way.
