Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.


Government Regulation

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for allowing me to answer his point. He says that I used the legislative pen, but I seem to remember using it to deregulate the telecoms industry, allowing a large number of new producers to come into the marketplace and creating an extremely successful industry. That was a deregulatory use of the legislative pen and it worked.
