Hogg:
I beg to move amendment No. 168, in
schedule 8, page 96, line 38, leave

Chairman:
With this it will be convenient to discuss the
following amendments: No. 164, in

made by the Secretary of State shall amend or repeal any provision of
another

No. 163, in
clause 79, page 43, line 27, leave
out from ‘8,’ to end of line 28 and insert
‘except under the
super-affirmative resolution procedure as set out in section 18 of the
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.
51).’.
No. 166,
in
clause 79, page 43, line 29, leave
out subsections (4) and
(5).
No. 162, in
clause 80, page 44, line 6, leave
out subsection (2).
Mr.
Hogg:
Before I speak to the amendments, may I thank the
Public Bill Office for its assistance in drafting them? This is the
last group of amendments on which I shall have a substantial voice. The
staff of the office drafted a great many amendments, and the fact that
they have appeared on the amendment paper in order and relatively
comprehensible is to their credit, and I am grateful for
that.
The amendments
have three purposes. First, amendment No. 168 would delete the
provision that enables the Secretary of State to
“repeal Part 6 of the Proceeds of
Crime Act 2002”
and to
make a consequential change to the statutes. Secondly, amendments Nos.
164 and 166 would remove the general power to repeal and amend
legislation outside the Bill. Thirdly and lastly, the amendments would
incorporate the concept of the super-affirmative resolution wherever
the affirmative procedure is being adopted.
Amendment No. 168 is narrow in
compass. I am against Secretaries of State taking to themselves powers
by affirmative resolution to amend the language of or to repeal parts
of other statutes. That should be done by primary legislation, in the
passage of which one would have the opportunity to examine in much
greater detail the proposals than is possible under the affirmative
procedure.
On the
second purpose, the more general point is that in the Bill, and in
clause 79 in particular, the Government are taking a much more general
power to repeal legislation by affirmative resolution. I find that
difficult to justify, because affirmative resolutions are not
amendable. Affirmative resolutions are presented to the House, which
must accept them either wholly or not at all following a short debate
lasting—normally—an hour and a half. In principle, that
does not seem to be a good way of handling legislation. Indeed, the
House recognised that by passing the Legislative and Regulatory Reform
Act 2006 and the super-affirmative procedure measures.
Super-affirmative procedure
broadly means that the House has the opportunity to debate an early
draft of resolutions before they are laid before it. That way, Members
can express a view on the draft before the resolution is made. That
enables them to say whether they approve of the draft before it is
laid, and it gives the Government the ability to modify the draft to
reflect criticism. That is an improvement on the normal affirmative
procedure.
My view has
always been that we ought to have a mechanism for amending affirmative
resolutions when they are brought before the House, so that we are not
driven either to accepting or rejecting a law, but that is not the
procedure at the moment. The amendments would incorporate the concept
that we should always use the super-affirmative procedure for the
affirmative resolutions that will be brought about by the Bill. That is
probably the best of the available
options.
I am sure
that other hon. Members will say more on the matter, but to summarise,
I very much dislike the ministerial habit of taking powers unto
themselves. That also applies to Conservative Ministers in
Administrations of which I was a member; no doubt I did it
myself— [
Interruption.
] The Minister is
smirking. Of course, I fear that he has a list of the affirmative
resolutions that I brought to the House in a
previous incarnation. In fact, I am against the habit. I become more
libertarian and liberal as I get older, although I am not a member of
the Liberal Democrats who, by the way, have no presence in the room at
the moment. We should
be slow to give Ministers the ability to change other legislation with
powers conferred in the Bill. If we are going to give such powers, it
must be done by affirmative resolution, but that itself is pretty
narrow, therefore given where we are the super-affirmative procedure is
the best we can do. Those are my reasons for tabling the
amendments.
James
Brokenshire:
I rise briefly to speak to the amendments
tabled by my right hon. and learned Friend who, in his customary way,
set out the legal basis to justify and underpin his proposals in a
clear, concise and effective manner.
There is an ongoing general
debate about the role of Parliament and the way in which the Executive
seek to take additional powers to themselves by making an order, and
the clause is another example of how further powers are being taken
away from Parliament. The Prime Minister has indicated that he wants to
strengthen the role of Parliament, and in that spirit we hope that that
historical approach may be changed, although I have doubts about
whether that will actually happen. The points that my right hon. and
learned Friend made are effective and I will listen with great interest
to how the Minister responds to
them.
Mr.
Coaker:
Given the charming way in which the right hon. and
learned Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham spoke to the amendment, I
am loath to speak against it, but that is what I am going to do. He was
honest enough to say that if he were in my position, he would propose
similar order-making
powers.
I refer
members of the Committee to the House of Lords Delegated Powers and
Regulatory Reform Committee, which considers the use of order-making
powers. We changed one or two of the powers in parts of the Bill to
take account of the points made by that Committee in its report, so
that the order-making powers in the Bill are now consistent with the
views expressed in that
report.
Amendment No.
164 seeks to ensure that the Secretary of State cannot by order amend
or repeal any provision of another Act, and amendment No. 162 would
have the same effect. The Secretary of State will need to be able to
make such amendments in order to make the Bill work effectively.
Amendment No. 166 is consequential to amendments Nos. 162 and 164,
because if the Secretary of State’s power to amend or repeal
other enactments is removed, clause 79(4) and (5) are no longer
necessary. However, I urge the Committee to reject the amendments as
those subsections are not there for any reason other than to make this
legislation work in
practice.
Amendment
No. 163 would mean that the order-making powers listed in clause 79(3)
were subject to the super-affirmative procedure. I must resist that
amendment. We set the parliamentary procedure in relation to the
order-making powers at what we believe to be the appropriate level. As
I said, in its report, the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform
Committee agreed that the levels set were appropriate.
Amendments
Nos. 165 and 168 relate to the Assets Recovery Agency and its merger
with the Serious Organised Crime Agency. This includes the ability to
raise a tax assessment against the suspected proceeds of crime. As part
of the transferral of that function, the Bill provides for the ability
to repeal that Revenue function so that SOCA will no longer have it as
a function. That is because the use of tax powers against the proceeds
of crime is subject to a review involving SOCA, Her Majesty’s
Revenue and Customs and the Home Office. The review may conclude that
the ability to raise tax assessment against unsourced but suspected
criminal proceeds is best performed by HMRC and not SOCA. The function
would therefore need to be removed from SOCA and given to HMRC.
Alternatively it may conclude that the provisions are not required, as
others are sufficient to recover the proceeds of crime. Again, that
would require the repeal of the SOCA function.
I hope that I have explained
the basis of the provision. I invite the right hon. and learned Member
for Sleaford and North Hykeham to withdraw his
amendment.
Mr.
Hogg:
I seek your guidance, Mr. Benton. I
suspect that the answer will be, “No”, but you never
know, I might be wrong. My preference would be to move amendment No.
163 and no other in the group, but I suspect that, as amendment No. 168
is first in the list, I cannot move amendment No.
163.
The
Chairman:
It will be in order to move amendment No. 163 at
the appropriate
stage.
Mr.
Hogg:
May I respectfully ask when that stage will
be?
The
Chairman:
I shall enlighten you on that in a
second.
Mr.
Coaker:
On a point of order, Mr. Benton. Will
you enlighten me as
well?
The
Chairman:
I understand that amendment No. 163
will be dealt with when we reach clause 79. We shall mark it to be
moved formally then. However, that is conditional on your withdrawing
amendment No. 168, Mr.
Hogg.
Mr.
Hogg:
I am very grateful. In those circumstances, I shall
not press amendment No. 168. I recognise that I could be said to be
guilty of hypocrisy in this matter, in that I am sure that in the past
I have moved order-making powers, and probably frequently too.
Nevertheless, I do not like them, and I do not suppose I shall ever
like them. I certainly do not like them now. If we are going to have
them, we have to decide how best to protect the liberty of the subject
and enhance parliamentary control. Given where we are, I think that the
super-affirmative procedure is probably a good thing in most cases. I
shall therefore move amendment No. 163 when I can, in order to assert
that proposition. That being so, I beg to ask leave to withdraw
amendment No. 168.
Amendment, by leave,
withdrawn.
