Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) 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 problem that new clause 14 at least attempts to solve is precisely the question of what counts as controversial for the purpose of a choice between the procedure proposed by the Bill and ordinary legislation. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman has read the report of the Committee proceedings. During those proceedings, his hon. Friend the. Member for Christchurch (Mr. Chope) suggested that if one Member objected, the matter would be controversial and should be treated as a Bill.
