Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Further Education and Training Bill [HL].

Further Education and Training Bill [HL]

My Lords, is not the point of Parliament for people to have different views and for everybody not to sing from the same hymn sheet? The point of Parliament is to debate things. If the noble Lord, Lord Baker, has a different view from that of my noble friend on the Front Bench, is that not a good and healthy thing? A few fewer automata on the Benches of certain other parties in this House would be a jolly good thing.
