Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative) 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

For the avoidance of doubt, will my hon. Friend confirm that new clause 17 could not be used to amend or repeal the 1972 Act, but could be used to make explicit that Parliament can change statutes notwithstanding the provisions of the Act? That is a rather unexceptional constitutional convention under which we all live. My hon. Friend’s new clause is thus a modest measure that will certainly not lead to the vast constitutional revolution posited by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke).
