Clause 9 - Monitoring by Government
Civil Contingencies Bill
Public Bill Committees, 29 January 2004, 4:45 pm
Mr Patrick Mercer (Newark, Conservative)
Clause 9 strikes me as being in direct opposition to clause 7, which talks in such detail about ''urgency''. Clause 9 strikes me as micro-management of the worst sort. It lacks an understanding of the nature of an emergency and makes something of a mockery of clause 7.
