Clause 1 - Purpose
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
11:00 am
David Howarth (Shadow Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; Cambridge, Liberal Democrat)
The hon. Gentleman is proposing an amendment similar to one that I would propose, except that it seems to offer one extraordinary olive branch to the Government: the restriction in the 2001 Act to do with burdens on Ministers of the Crown does not seem to be present. Will he address that point?
