The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill is currently being passed quietly through parliament, with hardly any mention in the national media.

This bill allows individual ministers to 'amend repeal or replace' any legislation without consulting parliament. The potential consequences if this bill gets through parliament are disastrous and an affront to the values of democracy, yet most people know absolutely nothing about it.

The bill can be found in full here:

I have already written to my M.P about this. I sugest that everyone reading this do the same. Please follow the link below, it will take you 2 mins.

example of letter ...

"Please dont let them bring in the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill. Please do everything within your power to fight against this Bill. We are slowly being squeezed of all of our rights. I strongly oppose this bill. Can more be done to make it more widely known so that people are in a position to oppose it?"
