Clause 8 - Road traffic accidents
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
As the hon. Gentleman was so brief, I shall intervene on him rather than seeking to catch your eye, Mr. O'Hara. Is there any significance
in his choice of mechanism of imposing on the Secretary of State an obligation to ''make a direction''? Why not simply write the requirement—if it is at all necessary, which I doubt—into the face of the Bill?
