Proceeding contribution from Viscount Goschen (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

Even if one accepts the Minister’s argument about administrative inconvenience and that this Bill does not set out to cover wider constitutional areas—and I do not accept his argument—can he give examples of any legislation that would not be caught by paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of subsection (3)? I am referring to legislation that does not impose, "““a financial cost … an administrative inconvenience … an obstacle to efficiency … or … a sanction””," of some sort on someone. Unless the Minister can inform me otherwise, I suggest that there is no legislation that would not be caught by one of those.
