Proceeding contribution from Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (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]

I, too, support the noble Baroness. We have set out a long and elaborate set of regulations, running to two and a half pages, and then in the last line we shoot the fox. We have spent a long time discussing the fox, what shape it is and how it should work, but then the fox is suddenly dispatched in a short line and a half. The noble Baroness has raised an interesting point, and I look forward to hearing the Minister’s reassurance about how these powers will be used and why they are necessary.
