HC Deb 30 June 2003 vol 408 c21W
Bob Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will make it his policy to include a sunset clause in all new legislation promoted by his Department unless a specific case can be made to exclude a sunset clause. [120850]

Mr. Charles Clarke

This will not be my policy: it will depend on the subject matter of the Bill whether any sunset clauses are appropriate in respect of any of its provisions.
