Steel Industry (Nationalisation) BillContribution
In clause 3, the Secretary of State purports to limit his powers by use of a sunset clause. The problem is, he also proposes to allow himself to reset the sunset, and to do so indefinitely, under subsection (3). I am afraid that makes a mockery of the concept of a sunset clause.
