Baroness Neville-Rolfe (Con)
I think the Minister confirmed that Parliament cannot amend an SI. We can block an SI.
Lord Lisvane (CB)
My Lords, I direct the Minister’s attention to the Civil Contingencies Act. While she thinks about that, in view of the excoriating criticism levelled by a number of your Lordships’ committees at framework Bills, I also ask her to reflect on the irony of defending this beta-gamma piece of legislation on the grounds that it is a framework Bill?
Baroness Neville-Rolfe (Con)
I think we have heard a number of general points—I just want to maintain the level of humour. I therefore want to move back to transport and try to complete my response on these amendments.
