Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].

Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I have Amendments Nos. 50 and 53 in this group and they pretty much speak for themselves. We have come to clauses that put the Secretary of State and Welsh Ministers at the top of the triangle, although I hesitate to use that word, considering the image given us by the noble Viscount—perhaps I should say, ““at the top of this tree””. The Secretary of State and Welsh Ministers can require the LBRO to comply with their directions. My amendments are to get on to the record—because I am sure that we will be given assurances—details of the consultation that will be undertaken before guidance or directions are given on this clause and Clause 16.
