Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

On the point raised by the hon. and learned Member for Harborough (Mr. Garnier), the central question is what is meant by Government Department. How far does that go? Does it include quangos, private sector providers and anyone who might count, for the purposes of the Human Rights Act, as a public body, which would include bodies such as universities? The Minister should take the opportunity to explain to the House what is meant by the phrase.
