Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
I have to agree with the remark made by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris) from a sedentary position. The fact remains that the Bill will empower a Minister to increase the penalty for a criminal offence without the benefit of primary legislation. Are there any circumstances in which the Minister believes that that falls within the broad definition of regulatory reform, rather than within the proper duty of this House to scrutinise primary legislation?
