Clause 40
10:30 am
Annette Brooke (Mid Dorset and North Poole, Liberal Democrat)
The important point is that that is a cross reference to previous legislation that does express that differently. The whole point is to go back to the legislation of 2000, which, as I understand it, expresses that differently from the Bill. There are concerns that the Bill’s provisions could be inferior to how it has been expressed in the past. That might unwittingly be bringing a change we are not aware of, so we need to hear the Minister’s response.
