Subordinate Legislation Committee Report
That brings us to agenda item 3. I refer members to paper ED/2/S2/04/12/1 relating to the report from the Subordinate Legislation Committee. As part of our consideration of the bill, it is incumbent on us to consider the delegated powers provisions and satisfy ourselves that they are appropriate.
The Subordinate Legislation Committee report and the paper suggest that, overall, those provisions are in order. Nevertheless, the Subordinate Legislation Committee raised concerns about three sections in the bill and it is worth noting the exchange between the committee and the promoter, the outcome of which is the recommendation for amendments at the consideration stage.
Rather than go into the details and the technicalities at the preliminary stage, it would be appropriate for the committee to thank the Subordinate Legislation Committee for its work and for highlighting areas of concern, and give the undertaking to give substantive consideration to the issues and amendments at the consideration stage of the bill. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. That concludes the public session of the committee. We now move into private. I thank members of the public for their attendance.
Meeting continued in private until 11:38.
