Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

I warmly congratulate the hon. Gentleman on his well-deserved promotion, together with the Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office, the hon. Member for Doncaster, North (Edward Miliband) and the Minister for the Cabinet Office, the right hon. Member for North-West Durham (Hilary Armstrong) whom I wish well in her responsibilities. Although this new clause allowing for the unscrambling of eggs that were wrongly scrambled might be an improvement, it does not remove the onus of responsibility on the Government in this field to consider moving towards sunset regulation, which would change the whole culture and ensure that bad regulation would have to come back to the House if it were to be renewed.
