Proceeding contribution from Lord Razzall (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 March 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 2, Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2007.


Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 2, Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2007

My Lords, the point I sought to make was not on the substance of the article, which is summarised but that the language and explanatory documents on these commencement orders should not be presented in a Hoffnung manner. The noble Lords, Lord Davies and Lord Hodgson, and I are all old enough to remember Hoffnung. We need to use plain English in explaining these provisions. We may understand the points, but a lot of people out there will not.
