  Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill - Timetable
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting Aye agreed that the scrutiny of the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/111/06111.i-ii.html"> Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill</a> by the Standing Committee would be finished by Thursday 9th March 2006.  There was no vote after the <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2006-02-09a.1048.0"> Second Reading debate</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Following this scrutiny the Report Stage and Third Reading debates on the floor of the House would would be scheduled for only one day, with the latter debate lasting an hour.</p>
  
  <p>This scheduling is in accordance with <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmstords/416/41604.htm#a90"> Standing Order 83A</a>, but with the summary decision that <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmstords/416/41604.htm#a91"> Standing Order 83B</a> would not apply.  This rule specifies how a committee of MPs appointed by the Speaker is supposed to decide how to schedule the Third Reading debate.  There is no point in writing a rule that can be withdrawn from this easily.  </p>
  
  <p>The timetable for dealing with any amendments to this Bill to emerge from the House of Lords would be set later.</p>
  
  <p>The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill has been called the "Abolition of Parliament Bill" by several leading lawyers because it appears to give the Government an unrestrained ability to rewrite laws as it chooses without passing them through Parliament.</p>
