 At the 2005 General Election Paul Tyler retired as MP for North Cornwall, after serving the constituency for more than 12 years. In addition to his relentless campaigning on a broad range of issues during his time in the House of Commons, Paul also served the Liberal Democrat Front Bench as Chief Whip and most recently as Shadow Leader of the House.
Paul was subsequently made a working peer and introduced to the House of Lords on 15th June. He is now Liberal Democrat spokesman in the Lords on constitutional reform issues, and served on the 2006 Joint Committee on Conventions, which examined and set out the relationship between the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
This site will serves as a portal for the issues which Paul continues to raise in the UK Parliament and is regularly updated.
Paul also chaired a special policy working group for the Liberal Democrats, on Better Governance. Its report, For the people, by the people was published in September 2007, and was approved overwhelmingly by the party's autumn conference. It is available here.

ATTORNEY GENERAL COMMITTEE SPLITS OVER ‘RAGBAG OF RETREATS’ A cross-party group of MPs and Peers will today (Thursday) denounce the Government’s Constitutional Renewal Bill as a retreat from Gordon Brown’s early promises. The Joint Select Committee charged with scrutinising the Bill will publish a report today largely endorsing the Government’s approach, but six of its members say it will fail to establish independence in the office of Attorney General. The Committee split by 6 members to 11 on a minority report drafted by Liberal Democrat Peer, Lord Tyler, and endorsed by Conservative MPs Christopher Chope, Andrew Tyrie and Sir George Young, Labour Peer Lord Morgan and Lib Dem colleague, Lord Maclennan.

PUBLIC SERVICES SHOULD NOT LURK IN CLOAKS OF SECRECYResponding to news that the Scottish Executive is considering widening the scope of the Freedom of Information Act north of the border, Liberal Democrat Constitutional Affairs spokesman, Lord Tyler, said:
"I called for a UK wide expansion of the law earlier this month."The Scottish Freedom of Information Act is already stronger than that in England. And now it appears the Scots could gain more transparency still."It would be quite wrong to leave English public authorities in translucent limbo, with parts of the country's vital public services continuing to lurk in cloaks of secrecy." |
