Part 2 also requires the Minister, if the “alternative procedure” in clause 23 is being used in exceptional circumstances, to lay a statement giving reasons.
[Official Report, 11 November 2010, Vol. 518, c. 22-23WS.]
Letter of correction from Mr David Lidington:
An error has been identified in the written statement that I made on 11 November 2010. The penultimate paragraph stated:
Part 2 also requires the Minister, if the “alternative procedure” in clause 23 is being used in exceptional circumstances, to lay a statement giving reasons.
The correct statement should have been:
Part 2 also requires the Minister, if the “alternative procedure” in section 22 is being used in exceptional circumstances, to lay a statement giving reasons.
