Proceeding contribution from Lord Desai (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 would say one small thing. I have been in your Lordships' House for 15 years and I have never yet understood a Bill on my first reading of it. I am not illiterate—I have many degrees—but it is very hard to understand laws. If I have difficulties, people who have to abide by those laws have lots of difficulties. We should do whatever we can do to reduce those difficulties.
