Clause 5 - Preliminary consultation
Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords]
5:45 pm
Ms Helen Clark (Peterborough, Labour)
I feel that the hon. Gentleman has made a facetious and erroneous point about the conduct of Government Members. This is the seventh Standing Committee on which I have served since the beginning of this Parliament. Ministers have often been prepared to consider sensible points made by Opposition Members, and have sometimes even accepted amendments. For all I know, my hon. Friend the Minister may be prepared to do likewise.
