Draft Deregulation Bill Index Foreword 3 Draft Deregulation Bill 5 Explanatory Notes 133 Summary of Impact 239 Draft Deregulation Bill Draft Deregulation Bill 3 Foreword We are pleased to publish a draft Deregulation Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee of both Houses. Publication of the draft Bill is the latest step in the Government’s ongoing drive to remove unnecessary bureaucracy that costs British businesses millions, slows down public services like schools and hospitals, and hinders millions of individuals in their daily lives. The Government’s Red Tape Challenge has already brought in reforms that have saved business over £212m a year, not all of which needed legislation passed by Parliament to achieve. A significant number of further measures will be implemented by the end of 2013, including an overhaul of employment tribunals to save business around £40m per year. Overall, ministers have already decided that 1,910 substantive regulations will be scrapped or reduced. The Chancellor announced in the Budget that a second phase of the Red Tape Challenge will start in summer 2013. The key measures in the Bill remove unnecessary burdens on three main groups: Freeing business from red tape including by: • scrapping health & safety rules for self-employed workers in low risk occupations, formally exempting 800,000 people from health & safety regulation and saving business an estimated £300,000 a year; • putting a deregulatory ‘growth duty’ on non-economic regulators, bringing the huge resource of 50 regulators with a budget of £4bn to bear on the crucial task of promoting growth and stopping pointless red tape; and • making the system of apprenticeships more flexible and responsive to the needs of employers and the economy, as recommended by the Richard Review. The Deregulation Bill will remove a lot of prescriptive detail in the current legislation and clarify the employment status of apprentices. Making life easier for individuals and civil society including through: • reducing the period for which someone has to live in their social housing to qualify for Right to Buy and Right to Acquire from five to three years, expanding their availability to a further 200,000 households; • scrapping heavy-handed fines for people who make mistakes putting out their bins; • deregulating the showing of “not-for-profit” film in village halls and community centres, making it easier for small charities and community groups to hold “film nights”; and 4 Draft Deregulation Bill • devolving decisions on public rights of way to a local level, which will cut the time for recording a right of way by several years and save almost £20m a year through needless bureaucracy. Reducing bureaucratic requirements on public bodies including: • removing prescriptive requirements on local authorities to consult and produce strategies; and • freeing schools from pointless paperwork and prescriptive central Government requirements. We look forward to assisting the Committee with its scrutiny of the draft Deregulation Bill and to receiving its subsequent report in due course.

  • 1. General Background
    By Professor Nigel Lowe, Sarah Armstrong and Anest Mathias* of the Centre for International Family Law Studies, Cardiff Law School, Wales, United Kingdom. 1. GENERAL BACKGROUND The United Kingdom comprises three distinct jurisdictions, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.1 In all jurisdictions of the UK, a common law system operates, however, the majority of child law is governed by statute. The Family Law Act 1986, deals primarily with jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of orders and powers among the legal systems within the UK, and the jurisdiction of the courts in respect of children in an international context. In England and Wales, the main statute affecting child law is the Children Act 1989. In Scotland, the principal legislation dealing with children issues is the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. In drafting this Act, the legislature clarified the issue of custody rights with regard to Scottish law, recognising that under the Convention, it is essential to know the scope of such rights.2 Some of the common law and statutory remedies existing prior to the Act also remain. In Northern Ireland, family law is primarily governed by the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 19953 which came into force in 1996. Jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement issues in the UK, as in other EU States,4 have been complicated by the Brussels II Regulation5 which came into force on 1 March 2001 and which has priority over the Family Law Act 1986. 1.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION The UK ratified the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction on behalf of its jurisdictions on 1 August 1986 when the Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 (the 1985 Act), came into force.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).
