text_body: --- DIVISION TITLE ---
  
  Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill - New Clause 19 - Ministers to act reasonably
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting No rejected the idea that the word "reasonably" be inserted into the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/rs1411505.553-557.html"> new clause</a> of the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/rs1411505.553-557.html">new clause</a> that had been added in at the <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2006-05-15&number=231">previous division</a>.  </p>
  
  <p>In context, the beginning of the clause would have read.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  A Minister of the Crown may by order under this section make any provision which he <b>reasonably</b> considers would serve the purpose... [of] removing or reducing any burden, or the overall burdens, resulting directly or indirectly for any person from any legislation.
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The idea was to make the requirement less subjective, so that if the minister considered that changing the law would remove a burden, but no one else in the country did, then it would not be <i>reasonable</i>.</p>
