Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 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 have never been reassured when I have seen the names of some Ministers attached to some Bills, certifying that they comply with the Human Rights Act. I am thinking of some Bills that have emanated over the past few years from the Home Office. Having said that, if it were a requirement for Bills to have such certification from Ministers, I do not see why such a requirement should not also be added to measures made under this Bill. Therefore, I support my noble friend and the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart.
