Inquiry into Framework Legislation and Henry VIII powers - The Parliament having the ability to amend secondary legislation, or a think again / conditional approval option

Official Report, 7 January 2025, Col 26 “Turn off the tap” Finally, Lord Lisvane expressed a concern that seeking to find solutions like amending subordinate legislation, or adding super affirmative procedures is akin to thinking of “better ways to mop the floor rather than seeking to turn off the tap”.xxiNote of Committee fact-finding visit to London, Friday 6 December 2024 In evidence to the Committee, the Minister for Parliamentary Business, responding to a question about amending or conditionally approving secondary legislation, suggested that this already happens, pointing to an instrument the Committee had considered which had been withdrawn and re-laid due to drafting concerns raised by the Committee.
