Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (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 thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way, especially as doing so probably spoils his effort to make the shortest speech of the evening, but I should like to encourage him in his question. If the provision in the Bill that sub-delegates the power to legislate in the first place were to include the possibility of further sub-delegation, and that was part of the original order, there is no reason to believe that further selling on of the power to legislate should be excluded.
