Proceeding contribution from Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL].


Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

Is it envisaged that some of the voluntary arrangements will continue indefinitely alongside the new arrangements and not just temporarily while the new arrangements are worked out? Obviously, it will take a little while for everything to be up and running in every possible business. Some businesses and local authorities may find it convenient to continue with the existing arrangements, which they know, rather than swapping to the new arrangements set out in the Bill. I presume that they would be able to do that and, indeed, they may wish to.
