Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (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 support my noble friend. The amendment is extremely important, as there is a clear and compelling case for reviewing such an important Act within a set period. I take issue only with the point she made that if we did not get any of the constitutional amendments we should have this one. My point is that we need both, because an awful lot could be done if this legislation were to be used in an inappropriate way within the five years. It is not an alternative; it is actually complementary to some of the amendments that we have considered. But in itself it has my full support.
