Clause 66
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
6:45 pm
Stephen Hammond (Shadow Minister, Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)
It may or it may not—the code of conduct certainly requires them to declare an interest—but saying so explicitly on the face of the Bill would add weight to what should happen. I see no reason why the Government should want to repeal that provision. I am sure that in a moment the Minister will use her extraordinary powers of persuasion to tell me why I am wrong, but she will have to go a long way in this case.
