Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Industry and the Environment.
Industry and the Environment
: Given that a former Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, the right hon. Member for North Tyneside (Stephen Byers), declared as long ago, I think, as 1999 his conversion to the idea of sunset clauses, whereby legislation would automatically lapse or expire after a given period, can the hon. Gentleman provide some good and compelling examples since then of when the Government have used sunset clauses in legislation?
