Clause 33 - Short title
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill
2:45 pm
David Howarth (Shadow Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; Cambridge, Liberal Democrat)
We have reached the end of the Bill and the clause that describes its short title. Is the Minister still satisfied with the short title that is being offered in clause 33? Throughout the debate he has referred so many times to the Hampton review that he might perhaps be prepared to offer the Hampton review Bill in place of the present name. He has also referred so many times to firefighters’ pensions that perhaps that ought to form the title.
The Bill has a popular alternative short title, which I think should be attributed to Professor John Spencer; the abolition of Parliament Bill.
