Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Djanogly (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [Lords].
Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [Lords]
I shall move on, if I may. The hon. Gentleman has had a good go. On Third Reading in the other place, Lord Lyell said that in effect the Bill gave the regulators"““the power to be investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and sentencer””.—[Official Report, House of Lords, 28 April 2008; Vol. 701, c. 26.]" That is a matter of great concern. The combination of wide powers being granted to a large number of unaccountable regulators for a long list of offences could be both disproportionate and unnecessary.
