Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (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

The clause includes the word ““or””. The amendment seeks to replace that with ““and””. With the ““or”” still in place we can remove any burden but we do not have to remove overall burdens. The overall burden can increase. As I have said, there is an ““or””. The Minister can say that he is removing a burden even though there is an increase in overall burdens. There is still compliance as things stand.
