Consumer Credit Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Consumer Credit Bill 2005-06.
It is not that we disagree with the amendment. I think that the Government were right in another place to listen—eventually—to the recommendations of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. My point is that a Bill that is being dealt with in the other place, having been scrutinised in this place—the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill—gives Ministers powers to change regulations willy-nilly, without coming back to Parliament. If we pass the amendment, will we merely give ourselves a breathing space of a few months because in due course Ministers will be able to disregard it?
