Legislative & Reform Bill
Like several other friends on here, I wrote to my MP, Michael Meacher, regarding this Bill.
The letter I received back is singularly brief:
"Thank you for your letter.
The aim of this Bill is to usher in a number of the wide-scale reforms announced in the Better Regulation Action Plan of May 2005.
Yes, I have been looking into this Bill, and I agree its implications are unprecedented and very worrying."
And that's it, that's all I got. I can't decide whether I've just been agreed with or just been blanked.
So I looked up the Better Regulation Action Plan. Apparently this Plan is designed to move away from "the assumption since the first legislation of Victorian times - that business, unregulated, will invariably act irresponsibly." and towards "the better view .. that businesses want to act responsibly."
Yeah right, sure they do.
