HC Deb 04 May 1999 vol 330 c777
Ms Glenda Jackson

I beg to move amendment No. 139, in page 188, line 36, leave out paragraph (c) and insert— '(c) a Member of the House of Lords,'. Schedule 8 disqualifies politicians, including peers, from membership of the Transport for London board. However, as the House of Lords Bill will disqualify hereditary peers from the House of Lords, they will no longer be politicians and should therefore not be excluded from membership of the TfL Board. This amendment would exclude Members of the House of Lords from the TfL board, rather than peers in general. I commend it to the House.

Amendment agreed to.
