Clause 8
6:15 pm
Jeremy Browne (Taunton, Liberal Democrat)
I do not doubt that the Minister and I, and probably all members of the Committee, share the same objectives. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will repeat the constant refrain that it is much more sensible for Members of Parliament not to decide on any of these matters in the Committee in which we have been sitting for four and a half hours. Such a forum is clearly inappropriate for making these decisions. They should be decided at a later date by Ministers in regulation.
