Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords].
Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]
The hon. Gentleman is right, of course, because although subsection (1) is definitely tied to""any amendment of the Convention made in pursuance of the…Convention"," subsection (2) states:""as the Secretary of State considers necessary or desirable in consequence of the modifications of this Act made by that order."" So it is in consequence of the modification; it is not so tightly tied to the convention. Does he not also agree that, given the points that he is validly making, and which, I believe, I am validly making, it would not be a bad idea, as a matter of law, to require the Attorney-General to give her advice on whether a modification was necessary, given the complexities?
