Legislative and Regulatory Reform.

I can't think there's anyone who might read this who won't already have seen the basic links, so I'm not going to repeat 'em. I Wrote to my MP and found that having read others' letters was useful, so here's mine in case anyone else can use or avoid any points or structure.

The hubbub about this Bill astonishes me. It doesn't make any kind of significant change so far as I can see. s4(2) limits its exercise to powers that are already exercised by delegated legislation (i.e. not put through parliament). The only difference is that rather than Parliament having to formally request their being made in each specific case, it is now permitted for the rules to be made in that class of thing without Parliamentary time being wasted to rubber stamp a request for a minister or committee to look at something. It means that it won't take Parliament to authorise H M Court Service when the fees need to go up by a fiver or when it's decided that the idiotic Part 52 of the Civil Procedure Rules is finally amended to make sense. These things are dealt with at a lower level already, the only change so far as I can see is the way that the process is initiated.
