Earl of Onslow | 676 c1023 (Link to this contribution) It is made worse by the fact that it will be a civil penalty. Presumably the burden of proof will be...

Lord Stoddart of Swindon | 676 c1025-6 (Link to this contribution) The great irony of the Bill is that it has been brought forward by a Labour Government. I have said ...
Lord Thomas of Gresford | 676 c1024 (Link to this contribution) Let us not think of this as a one-off application. Clause 12 states that if there is a change of cir...
