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

I did say that the ministerial opinion requirement in the Bill is not new. It has worked well under both the 1994 Act and the 2001 Act; so it has its origins in legislation with which the noble Lord will be extremely familiar. I repeat that there is no evidence that this needs to be changed in the Bill. I am advised that the wording is different, but at the margins. For the benefit of precision, one should be clear.
