Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill — New Clause "19" — Ministers to act reasonably — 15 May 2006 at 20:15
Those voting No rejected the proposal to insert the word "reasonably" be into the New Clause "19" that had been added in at the Division 231.
In context, the beginning of the clause would have read.
A Minister of the Crown may by order under this section make any provision which he reasonably considers would serve the purpose... [of] removing or reducing any burden, or the overall burdens, resulting directly or indirectly for any person from any legislation.
The idea was to make the requirement less subjective, so that if the minister considered -- in his own mind -- that changing the law would remove a burden, but no one else in the country did, then it would not be reasonable.
