Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (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

I think that the hon. Gentleman is in this case. Does my hon. Friend the Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) agree that in the important example given by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) yesterday about tax cuts being something that could be fast-tracked using the order-making power, a Select Committee would not be able to veto it because it would have to go through exactly the same hoops as the Minister? As we know, tax cuts are not covered by that process so it is not a real protection in the circumstances outlined by my right hon. and learned Friend.
