Part of the debate – in the House of Lords at 6:45 pm on 23 June 2011.
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for what I hope was a favourable reply. I am certain that the GLA and my noble friend Lady Doocey, who is still a member of the London Assembly, will wish to join me in saying that we seek a common-sense and rational solution to a particular issue that applies to one particular authority, the Greater London Authority. On that constructive note, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment 96B withdrawn.
Clause 16 agreed.
Clause 17 : Voluntary codes of conduct
Amendment 97
Moved by Lord Tope
97: Clause 17, page 23, line 2, leave out "may" and insert "must"
