Proceeding contribution from Oliver Letwin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.
European Union (Withdrawal) Bill
I do not know whether it would be possible to find definitions that would help. However, the hon. Gentleman seems unwilling to accept, or certainly has not alluded to, the fact that secondary instruments, as opposed to primary legislation, are justiciable. Our courts are quite used to concepts like deficiency and appropriateness. Is that not what we are relying on—the action of the courts?
