  Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill - New Clause "21" - Law Commission recommendations "without changes"
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting No rejected a change to the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/rs1411505.553-557.html">new clause</a> that was added into the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/06141.i-ii.html">Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill</a> by <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2006-05-15&number=233&dmp=856"> Division 233</a>.  This change would have removed the phrase "with or without changes" from the text, which read: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
  A Minister of the Crown may by order under this section make any provision which he considers [necessary to implement the] recommendations of any one or more of the United Kingdom <a href="http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/">Law Commissions</a>, <i>with or without changes</i>. 
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>An alternative amendment which would have substituted those words with:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  either without changes or with such changes as are necessary to take into account any development in the law since the time the recommendations were made.
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>was not called to a vote.  This would have been a more interesting amendment, since this made explicit the only reason that the minister provided during the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmscleg.htm">proceedings of the Standing Committee</a> for requiring his ability to change law commission recommendations before implementing them.</p>
