Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

Was not the right hon. and learned Gentleman’s reference to the political factors the key consideration? Surely if the relevant Select Committee, with, as we keep saying, a Government majority, recommended that it was not appropriate to use the order-making power for the purpose proposed, and if the Government nevertheless sought to overturn that by using their majority to get a resolution of the House, there would be political consequences and it would be decided politically, which is how we decide everything in this place.
