Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) 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
Is that correct? Surely, the Human Rights Act provides that secondary legislation amending primary legislation should be treated for the purposes of the Human Rights Act as itself being primary legislation. Therefore, the Minister can then introduce an order under this Bill amending primary legislation that would be treated as primary legislation for the purposes of the Human Rights Act and, therefore, could not be quashed by the court—it would simply be declared incompatible. That comes up in relation to an amendment that I will move later.
