  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting Aye agreed that a <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/rs1411505.553-557.html">new clause</a> be added into the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/06141.i-ii.html">Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill</a> that was understood to be replacing the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/141/06141.1-7.html#j001">old clause 1</a>.</p>  
  
  <p>The major change was to replace the original proposal: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
  A Minister of the Crown may by order make provision for...  reforming legislation...
  </blockquote>
  
  <blockquote>
  In this Part "legislation" means... any public general Act or local Act, or any Order in Council, order, rules, regulations, scheme, warrant, byelaw or other subordinate instrument made under a public general Act or local Act.  
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>with: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
  A Minister of the Crown may by order under this section make any provision which he 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>
  
  <blockquote>
  In this section "burden" means [either]... (a) a financial cost, (b) an administrative inconvenience, (c) an obstacle to efficiency, productivity or profitability, or (d) a sanction, criminal or otherwise, for doing or not doing anything in the course of any activity.
