Public Bill Committee: Greater London Authority Bill: New Clause 15 (23 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: That was an ingenious attempt to make a tackle, but it went wholly into the mud. The whole point of the question that I asked was to get the Mayor to give an account of the expenditure that had been incurred and the priorities that caused him to incur it. I imagine that it is not unknown for quotes to be read out in Hammersmith and Fulham council meetings, which seems to be the fount of most...

Public Bill Committee: Greater London Authority Bill: New Clause 15 (23 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: I shall give way in just a moment once I have finished my point. Having gone down that route, the Mayor was condemned in the Assembly. It would not be a bad idea to prevent future Mayors from getting themselves into that mess.

Public Bill Committee: Greater London Authority Bill: New Clause 15 (23 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: It is interesting how sensitive Government Members are on this topic. The Committee has a timetable for a full day’s business, but given the promptness with which the Committee has dealt with the Bill, we should finish our proceedings well within that timetable. I am sorry that Government Members are so sensitive about the subject that we are discussing. I have one final point that it is...

Public Bill Committee: Greater London Authority Bill: New Clause 30 (23 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: I shall be brief, Lady Winterton. I apologise for not having welcomed you back to the Chair when I spoke earlier. I wish to reinforce the points made by my hon. Friend the Member for Croydon, Central. It has been a theme throughout our party that we do not oppose giving more power to the Mayor but seek to balance the power for the assembly to call in. When the matter was considered by the...

Orders of the Day: New Clause 4 — Conditions to be satisfied (25 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: Is not my hon. Friend's point reinforced, and our concerns about the Government's motivation and the risk of a wedge made even greater, by the fact that in the preface to the report the Attorney-General attempted to fly wholly in the face of the evidence Mr. Wooler had collected? The Attorney-General attempted to whitewash his position by suggesting that the evidence did not justify Mr....

Orders of the Day: New Clause 9 — Applications by defence for certain fraud cases to be conducted without a jury (25 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: I strongly agree with my right hon. and learned Friend. Does he agree that his point about costs would be greatly reinforced if the Government —as appears will be the case—were to adopt the Carter recommendations in respect of legal aid and put a cap on expenditure in high-cost fraud cases that are subject to legal aid? That would put legally aided defendants in such cases in an invidious...

Orders of the Day: Clause 3 — Section 43 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003: Northern Ireland (25 Jan 2007)

Bob Neill: Will the Solicitor-General confirm that in the circumstances to which he has referred—summary trial by a district judge or magistrate—there is a limit on sentencing? Sentences of five, six, seven, eight, nine or 10 years cannot be passed as a result of trial by one person alone acting as a tribunal. If there is a problem with jury trials, why was it possible to deal with Enron, which was...

Public Bill Committee: Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill: Written evidence to be reported to the House ( 1 Feb 2007)

Public Bill Committee: Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill: Written evidence to be reported to the House ( 1 Feb 2007)

Orders of the Day: Land Use (Gardens Protection etc) Bill ( 2 Feb 2007)

Bob Neill: Is my hon. Friend aware that her point is strongly reinforced by our experience in the London borough of Bromley, where, if anything, our greatest need in affordable housing is for family homes? However, the perverse result of the imposition of minimum density targets is a green light for developers to build small, flatted units, which is not what the demand is for. That, in turn, increases...
