Mark Fisher: The point is very well made from a sedentary position by the hon. Member for Cambridge (David Howarth). The provision is qualified by the phrase “unless it is authorised”. The House will be delighted by the parliamentary footnote. As someone who loves footnotes in books, I thought that the
Minister’s Halsbury footnote was a delight, but I hope that he will address the hon. Gentleman’s intervention.
Mr. McFadden: Perhaps I can help the House further. In the case of our Bill, explicit wording would be needed to authorise further delegation of legislative powers. Given that the Bill does not contain such provision, such further delegation would not be possible. The Bill does not say so in the way that the hon. Gentleman suggests.
Mark Fisher: I hope that the Minister is right, but it is very worrying that this is a fundamental parliamentary principle and we have moments before the knife falls on the debate. There is no point in discussing that, but such things should not just be rubbed through like that and the House and the other place must return to these things not in a gabbled way under the edge of a knife falling on the debate, but in a serious way. I am sure that the Minister intends to justify the position, and I hope that he can do so with his mastery of the footnote. However, as things stand, I am more persuaded by what the hon. Member for Cambridge said from a sedentary position. He feels that there are problems. These matters are too serious to buff through.
John Hemming (Birmingham, Yardley) (LD): The key point is that if there is a statutory instrument or order under the Bill that enables sub-delegation, sub-delegation can ensue. Only if the original Bill contained a provision saying that there could not be sub-delegation would that be, subject to judicial review, ultra vires. That is what we are asking for.
Mark Fisher: I am afraid that these issues are too nice—in the true sense of the word—to tease out in three and a half minutes, but they are very important and we are going to have to come back to them. We cannot allow this legislation finally to pass on to the statute book without being clear about what we are doing. The Minister may be clear and he may well be right. He has earned the right to our confidence. He has shown that during the debate today and yesterday. However, we cannot afford to give him the benefit of the doubt. He has to justify that to the House. We have to be extremely careful about what sub-delegation we are making.
Rob Marris: In terms of what the Minister said in response to amendments Nos. 7 and 8, which were tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Andrew Miller), can the Minister assure me—I was not clear from what he said—that he was minded to accept the spirit, if not the wording, of those amendments?
Mr. Heath: That was a short, but informative debate. I agree that the Minister has been doing a good job in rather disadvantageous conditions over the past two days. I hope that next time he comes before the House with a Bill, he has a better Bill to work with. His officials are rather over-reliant on interpretations from Halsbury and insufficiently prepared to look at the common sense of what is written in the statute. Quite
clearly there is no exclusion in the statute in relation to sub-delegation—a quite proper matter for the House’s concern.
The idea that the requirements on consultation, which are contained in clause 11, are an unsatisfactorily onerous duty for somebody who is legislating under a delegated function is quite wrong. If someone is making legislation that is binding on other people—even if it is only a few people—is it entirely improper that they should consult such organisations as appear to them
“to be representative of interests substantially affected by the proposals”?
I would suggest not. It is proper for delegated functions of legislation to fall within exactly the same constraints and to have exactly the same terms of consultation and procedures as any other matter handled under the accelerated procedure.
We still have some very big question marks—notwithstanding the Minister’s preparedness to talk to the Committee and perhaps bring forward further proposals at the next stage of the consideration of the Bill in another place. Who knows, he may bring forward things that are of interest at that point, but that will not happen before this House today and, on that basis, we must seek the advice of the House, and I will press new clause 15 to a vote.
Mr. Greg Knight: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Will you confirm that parts 2 and 3 of this very important Bill will remain unscrutinised on Report and that that disgraceful state of affairs arises only because of the terms of the Government’s own guillotine motion?
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I can confirm only that it begins to look extremely improbable that the other parts of the Bill are going to receive consideration.
