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


Government Regulation

I promise that this is my last contribution to our debate. The hon. Gentleman surprised all the Labour Members in the Chamber by saying that he is going to support the Conservative motion. I checked his manifesto, but I could not find a single reference to regulation, so he is obviously borrowing Conservative policies. Can he confirm that in his new-found support for better regulation he is abandoning the Liberal Democrat plans to introduce dog licences again, which is the most absurd regulatory burden that anyone has devised for a long time?
