seems more to come from the counterterrorism world. The Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee’s report was very useful, and I thank it for it. As it points out, it needed material that was supplementary not only to the SI but to the Explanatory Memorandum, to explain the detail of this. It comments that it should have been included in the Explanatory Memorandum. I suppose that language included in the explanation that is less precise than that used in primary legislation creating criminal law may be inevitable in a sanctions regime. However, I confess to feeling uncomfortable that an “appeal” requires the Minister to mark his or her own homework, with ultimately an application to the court being possible using judicial review principles.
