Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

The wording in the 2001 Act is pretty much the same wording that we have put into the Bill. There have been no difficulties with the existing wording in the regulatory reform order process in the way in which we have tried to use it. As I have explained before, we have not made as many regulatory reform orders as we would like because the process is onerous and rather cumbersome. That is an important debate in itself, but the wording that we are putting into the Bill is very similar, as I understand it, to the wording in the 2001 Act. I think that that wording has worked well.
