Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) 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

Is the Minister saying—if he is, I might change sides—that the 2001 Act, which I confess I have not studied, has the phrase ““he considers”” and that there is no change? I thought that my noble friend had suggested that there was a difference. Either it is the same or it is different. If it is different, we want to know why. Would it be helpful if I continued talking while the seventh cavalry arrived in aid of the Minister? That is the crucial aspect. I do not think that any of us wants to make the Minister’s life more difficult.
