Proceeding contribution from David Heath (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

I may be underestimating the Minister, but I have seen dodgy procedure from past Home Secretaries and I do not believe that a Home Secretary would listen to a junior Minister in the Cabinet Office. No assurances from the Treasury Bench will hold water. For that reason, if the Government press ahead with the proposals in their amendments Nos. 46, 50, 54 and 55, it is essential that we amend them today to remove those appalling restrictions on the latitude allowed to Select Committees in undertaking their work, both in terms of time and the criteria they must use to assess whether an instrument is appropriate for the fast-track procedure.
