Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) 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

I hear what my hon. Friend says, but I am talking about practical politics; about a Committee’s ability to say to a Minister without fear of judicial review that it is not prepared to let them continue along a particular course. That has proved an effective mechanism; that said, I would prefer to adopt an approach in keeping with the views of the Chairman of the Procedure Committee. The key is to ensure that this House has a practical means of stopping in their tracks a Minister who is going too far.
