Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) 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

New clause 21(3) specifies the Law Commission, the Scottish Law Commission and the Northern Ireland Law Commission. I hope that that answers the questions from both my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris)and the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire (Pete Wishart). New clause 10 would rule out the creation of certain new offences and the authorisation of forcible entry, search and seizure. These were possible under clauses 6 and 7. However, Government amendments Nos. 23 and 27 will achieve the same result, so that orders implementing Law Commission recommendations will not have any special treatment in this respect, and the limits in clauses 6 and 7 will apply to these orders, as well as to others. To that extent new clause 10 has been overtaken by events.
