Inquiry into framework legislation and Henry VIII powers Note of discussion with Natasha Maclaren-Jones, Chair of the New South Wales Legislative Council Regulation Committee, Wednesday 22 January 2025 Mrs Maclaren-Jones set out the background to the Regulation Committee’s work, including the two reports looking at delegated legislation in New South Wales published in 2020 and 2022. Mrs Maclaren-Jones set out some of the principal innovations which have resulted from this work, which included a new website to make it easier for the public and parliamentarians alike to find (and scrutinise) regulations, and having a new committee secretariat (who have legal backgrounds) as well as an external legal adviser reviewing regulations on a case by case basis, and bringing issues to the attention of the Committee.
