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

I do not want to cast aspersions on the abilities of parliamentary counsel, but I doubt whether they can draft better than the Law Commission. Any conceivable circumstance in which changes need to be made is surely covered by amendment (b) or new clause 21(5). I cannot see that there is room for anything beyond those two measures.
