Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (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

For the noble Lord’s benefit, I can think of an example relating to the potential to which an Act could be used—the Parliament Act. That Act was not ring-fenced. On this Bill, there will be amendments precisely defined to ring-fence and limit it, so that it will deliver the Government’s intention and prevent future Governments from encroaching into those areas into which the Minister says the Bill is not intended to encroach.
