Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) 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]

We do not see any relationship between this clause and Clause 7, on which we have rightly spent so much time today. On the amendments in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Cope, I have already said that we would like to consider them. We want to see transparency through publication of the directions to the LBRO made under these clauses and the post-implementation review to be conducted under Clause 63, further on. The Bill requires the Minister to publish the directions and the results of the review in a manner that the Minister decides, but we have some sympathy with the suggestion of the noble Lord that copies should be laid before Parliament. I hope that he will be kind enough to let us take these amendments away and consider them.
