Our legal adviser has raised various points on the Executive's response to our questions on the regulations. It is suggested that we could draw the Executive's attention, or Parliament's attention, to an insufficiently precise citation of powers. We may prefer to do that informally, as we are talking about a matter of style rather than anything of substance.
I am happy that we raise the matter informally.
I feel that we can deal with questions of improper drafting or misspelling in an informal way. Rather than seeking to humiliate anyone, we can simply draw the matter to the Executive's attention and leave it at that—although I do not know whether the lead committee on the regulations will be pleased by an imprecise citation of powers.
We can just ask the lead committee to give the Executive 100 lines.
