All 6 results for merger speaker:Lord Howe of Aberavon

Commonwealth Parliamentary Association — Debate ( 8 Sep 2011)

Lord Howe of Aberavon: ..., the sincerity of our attempt to bring the Cold War to an end. I want to close, if I may, with a minute on the problems of British Somaliland, which are very serious because of its subsequent merger in the greater state of Somalia, where it has now suffered adversely as a result of corruption and worse in that country. A very valuable comment on the whole situation was made in the debate...

Financial Services Authority — Question (31 Mar 2009)

Lord Howe of Aberavon: ...made in 1997? Does that not underline the unwisdom of aggregating in giant authorities the functions and purposes of purpose-built organisations?

Lord Howe of Aberavon: ...and undoubtedly serious resultant erosion, of the office and standing of their historic constitutional champion, the Lord Chancellor. Now, further dilution of that championship, as a result of the merger of what was once the Lord Chancellor's Department with prisons and other divisions of the Home Office, threatens that independence in at least three ways. First, within that framework,...

Finance Bill (19 Jul 2005)

Lord Howe of Aberavon: ..., no appointments of general commissioners have been made for some time. That means that some divisions are in difficulty, which will grow as time goes by. Secondly, it is rather odd to have seen a merger of the two revenue departments, with a continued separation of the two appeal structures. It is the type of tax that determines whether the taxpayer can elect a lay or professional...
