Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

We anticipate discussion of that issue in the Standing Committee, on which my hon. Friend may be inclined to serve. Business, the public and the voluntary sector rightly say loudly that we shall be judged by our actions in this place. Tonight, we shall be judged on our support for the Second Reading of a Bill that meets the more ambitious better regulation agenda, extends more power to Parliament to scrutinise and veto Government proposals and will enhance UK competitiveness and further support British business. I commend the Bill to the House. Question put and agreed to. Bill accordingly read a Second time.
