my honourable friend the member for  er south hamms, madam deputy speaker, er gave i thought a a an amusing but perceptive speech about the growth of deregulation, indeed some were saying that deregulation  er is in fact the fastest growing part of bureaucracy  in whitehall and there have been calls to deregulate the deregulators er, he is of course quite right that parkinson's theory  can extend in this area and one can find that deregulation acquires a life and momentum erm of its own.
