Clause 1 - Piloting conduct at European
European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill
10:00 am
Mr Tom Harris (Glasgow Cathcart, Labour)
I am not a lawyer, and, like the hon. Gentleman, I read the paragraph with a completely blank stare and little understanding of it. However, he may be wrong on one point. Laws by their nature cannot be written in plain English. He is a lawyer and must know that the language used by the draftsmen must encompass specific legal terms. Asking for the provision to be written in plain English is not particularly relevant.
