Equality: Hung Parliament

Lord Hamilton of Epsom Excerpts

Thursday 29th June 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

My Lords, I am not entirely sure what I can add further. These are devolved matters, and at the moment that is the way they will stay.

[Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Con)]

My Lords, does my noble friend accept that either you devolve powers to regional Assemblies or you do not? If you devolve those powers, you must leave it up to them to decide what they want to do in their devolved areas.

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

My noble friend is of course quite right, but each and every one of us can apply our own pressure in our own way.
