Local Transport Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Local Transport Bill [HL].
My Lords, I thank the Minister for that. I simply wonder whether the funds raised by whatever we call this—I will not use the three-letter word again—will enhance the block grant. I am used to Northern Ireland affairs. We have a big block grant and we must live inside it. Apart from local authority rates and so on, there is no other way that I know of in which we can raise funds to enhance the block grant. It seems to me that these charges will enhance the block grant. I am not particularly content with this, but I will read Hansard carefully and give notice that I may come back to it at Third Reading. I do not like coming back at Third Reading, which is a tidying-up, but we have not tidied up this little item. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 119C and 119D not moved.] Clause 111 [Information]:
