Clause 20 - Code of practice
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
12:00 pm
Jim Murphy (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Cabinet Office; East Renfrewshire, Labour)
I do not think that I am advocating that, but this provision is lifted directly from the 2001 Act. I am willing to be corrected, but I understand that it was not identified during the consultation and the deliberations on the Bill as an inherent weakness in the 2001 Act. If he has evidence that it is and that it has prevented the better regulation agenda, he is entirely free to bring it to the attention of the Committee and the House.
