Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

My Lords, the Minister is very good on the processes that he proposes and has talked a lot about whims, but the mere threat of a change to a regulator is enough to stop investment. This is true of Crossrail. I know that Crossrail is in a Bill, not an order, but simply putting it into a Bill—which is the same as putting it into an order, except there is less discussion about it—has already stopped investment. Change does not encourage investment. Does he have an answer to that?
