It is far from adequate. This is a measure that other Departments have introduced to improve the democratic process and allow the House have an input in important aspects of ministerial responsibility for laying regulation before the Houses. These are two critical areas. The amendment would not tie the Minister's hands. It would force him to go before the Houses first and have the argument there rather than nodding through the regulation. I will certainly press the amendment.
