Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Rising (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

moved AmendmentNo. 85A: Page 8, line 10, at end insert ““or increase or impose any burden or burdens”” The noble Lord said: This amendment is designed to ensure that any explanatory document that accompanies the draft order also includes an indication of where burdens may be increased or imposed. It is clear that the Bill has the capacity to increase burdens as well as to reduce them. None of us would like to see increased burdens. The amendment is entirely straightforward and would ensure that, at the very least, Parliament is fully informed of the effect of a draft order before deciding which procedure under Clause 16 should apply. I beg to move.
