Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill (Sixth sitting)

Debate between Richard Burden and Christian Matheson

Tuesday 21st March 2017 Public Bill Committees

[Christian Matheson]

Does my hon. Friend share my view that that might not be about prescribing for the industry what steps it needs to take, but about ensuring that all parts of Government are aware of what their role might be as the sector develops?

[Richard Burden]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We are talking about joining the dots within Government to ensure that those three elements—the Minister got it right about where the three elements of Government crystallise—can be put to best effect. Part of that is legislative, whether that is primary legislation or the regulations that we have debated a great deal in Committee.
