Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Rising (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

I thank the Minister and all noble Lords who have spoken so well to this amendment. It has been flattering to have such distinguished support. I think that all noble Lords agree that burdensome regulations need to be got rid of. The Minister has said that we cannot prevent the future irresponsible use of what is set out in this Bill, but surely it is the responsibility of those in Parliament to try to prevent the introduction of legislation that might be abused at some later stage.
