Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

My right hon. Friend has put it very well. The principle embodied in new clause 17 is the vital principle of preserving and reasserting, and the Bill has given me the opportunity to do that. Notwithstanding the concerns of my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Rushcliffe, which are primarily political, and those of the hon. Member for Cambridge, which appear to be primarily diplomatic, I insist on my point.
