Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
The noble Baroness raised a number of important issues in her speech on this amendment. Rather than go through all the issues now, I am very happy to commit to a further discussion with her, and my colleague from the other place Lilian Greenwood, in order to correctly set out what we think we can do with regard to the matters she raised, which the Government do regard as important. As an afterthought, I will say that, if the Highway Code is no longer available as a printed document, that is the first I have heard of it. I have very recent examples both on my desk at the department and indeed at home—because everybody who uses the road should know what the current version of the Highway Code has in it.
