Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (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

Given the time available, I would rather make some progress. When making an order that confers a power to legislate, the nature of that power will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the order will set out the appropriate procedural requirements, depending on whom the power is conferred and its subject matter. That is the best approach, rather than being too rigid. In our short debate, there was a question about whether someone could ““sell on”” the power sub-delegated to them. No, they would not be able to do so.
