Clause 1 - Purpose
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
1:00 pm
Jim Murphy (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Cabinet Office; East Renfrewshire, Labour)
I am delighted to welcome you, Mr. Caton, to our proceedings this afternoon. This morning’s debate was productive in terms of content rather than progress. When we adjourned, I was bringing my remarks on clause 1 stand part to a conclusion. Of course, we understand why Sir Nicholas, your co-Chairman, cannot be with us this afternoon. I think that we heard earlier that he is on his way to Manchester to take part in the BBC’s “Newsnight”.
