Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 3 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
As the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, explained very well in his introduction, the words would shift the test away from being a subjective, accountable, political decision to being what he contends is an objective test. We insist that the subjective test is the right one because it puts the Minister at the heart of the decision-making. That is right in a parliamentary and democratic system.
