Clause 42 - Objectives and duties under WIA
Water Bill [Lords]
9:15 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
I shall withdraw my amendment, but I do not think that the Minister has done us proud, as he usually does. He is clearly not himself this morning and has fallen into a dilemma—pointed out by my hon. Friends—that one cannot say that the measure is
inclusive and write a list, and then say that the inclusion of everyone else is implicit. There is a lack of logic about that. I do not wish to vote on the amendment because I am not against such groups of people being included but I feel very strongly that others will regret that words like ''vulnerable groups'' were not included in the Bill. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
