Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Insurance Contributions Bill.

National Insurance Contributions Bill

Perhaps my hon. Friend will be able, as I was not because I wanted to leave time for my hon. Friends to contribute, to elaborate a little on the idea that expediency rests almost entirely on practicability, so the test would simply be, ““Can it be done?””, whereas reasonableness introduces more of a concept of fairness and, therefore, of judgment. That, surely, is the distinction that we are trying to make and is so important to those who may well suffer from retrospection in its worst forms.
