§ 15. Mr. PikeTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what major deregulation proposals are planned to be introduced during the next 12 months. [47933]
§ Mr. KilfoyleI would like to thank my hon. Friend for the valuable work he is doing as Chair of the House of Commons Deregulation Committee, who do a very useful job in scrutinising proposals to get rid of outdated legislation. However, it would not be appropriate to announce specific deregulation order proposals at this time, as they are subject to detailed consultation with all interested parties and I would not want to pre-empt announcements by my colleagues with policy responsibility for specific deregulation orders.
We are also looking at the scope for reform of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994.
