New Clause 5 - Regulatory impact
Consumer Credit Bill
Public Bill Committees, 27 January 2005, 4:45 pm
Mr Alistair Burt (Parliamentary Private Secretaries To Leader of the Opposition; North East Bedfordshire, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman knows the Government very well if he is concerned that one piece of legislation would lead to a raft of regulations in its wake. While the hon. Gentleman is making his remarks, will he ask the Minister, in his response, to offer an opinion on the general issue of whether sunset clauses that are added to Bills and regulations, which is our policy, would also make a significant difference to the way in which regulation would be accepted by industry and business, which is now literally groaning under the effect of regulations he has described?
