Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill — Clause 14 — Negative Resolution Procedure — 16 May 2006 at 20:45
Elfyn Llwyd MP, Meirionnydd Nant Conwy voted in the minority (Aye).
Those voting No rejected an an amendment to the just amended Clause 14 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill (seen as Clause 17 of the new Bill) that would have loosened the limitations on the possibility of a Parliamentary veto on an order passed under this Bill. The clause says:
The Minister may make an order [following a]... draft order... [if] Parliament [vetoes it] within the 40-day period, or a committee of either House charged with reporting on the draft order may, at any time after... 30 days [but]... before 40 days... recommends... that... [it be vetoed]... only if it considers that... the draft order does not serve the purpose specified, [or]... [it does not satisfy the preconditions in] Section 3 (proportionality, balance, and consistency with policy objectives).
The amendment, which was voted down in this division, would deleted the italicised words and have given it the freedom to veto an order for any reason it chose.
