Obsolete laws
Wednesday, 26th March 2008 Letter to London local newspapers Sir The government has announced plans to axe 328 obsolete laws that have not been used for hundreds of years, including those on domestic servants, disorderly houses, poor relief, county gaols, turnpikes and the East India Company. However, many people feel that unnecessary or over-onerous laws are passed in Brussels which are then incorporated into British law. As well as seeking to repeal the laws of our ancient past, should our government also seek to repeal more recent unnecessary and intrusive legislation? Please contact me if there are any laws that you would like to see repealed by emailing me at syed@syedkamall.com. Yours sincerely Syed Kamall MEP Conservative MEP for London |
