Oliver Heald (Shadow Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs & Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Assisted By Shadow Solicitor General), Constitutional Affairs; North East Hertfordshire, Conservative)
But when the hon. Gentleman produced the document “A Bill for Better Regulation: Consultation Document,” it proposed that there should be a power to
“remove, reduce, re-enact or impose burdens (as now)”,
and added to that the power to simplify legislation, as the hon. Gentleman mentioned, and implement uncontroversial Law Commission recommendations. Does he have available to him a draft of clause 1 along the lines of his consultation document if he wanted to deploy it at a later stage?
