Amendment 103ZZA and associated amendments in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Pinnock, seek to change Clause 51’s regulation-making power to the provision of guidance that binds local authorities. She has made the case for her amendments, and we will be interested to hear the Minister’s reply. I will say no more at this stage, other than to note that this change would mean that your Lordships’ House would not have access to the normal delegated legislation scrutiny powers that go with regulation-making provisions.
