Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 September 2024

Debate

Arbitration Bill [HL]

Contribution

As I said at Second Reading, I have been involved in arbitration law reform for a very long time—since 1978, 46 years ago. Looking at the time between the 1979 Act, for which I had a lot of responsibilities, and the 1996 Act, in which I also had responsibility, that is a period of 17 years. The period between the 1996 Act and now is 28 years. It is essential that we address the issue now in this Bill.
