Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

The hon. Gentleman spoke about how Ministers’ performance is assessed. To achieve a culture change, we must shift our focus from the introduction of new Bills and legislation to deregulation and the removal of burdens from business. We must focus, too, on sound administration, and on paying attention to the need to get the operation of Acts of Parliament correct before rushing to introduce yet another Bill.
