This secondary legislation is clearly different in kind from social security legislation, but it has real impacts on the rights of workers and on the organisations that employ them, and, through them, on the economy. It has very significant impacts throughout the economy. It is difficult to overstate the widespread nature of the impact that secondary legislation under this Bill will have. I am sure it will be very complex. The delegated powers memorandum is very long. To take one example, the new right to guaranteed hours in Clause 1 requires 17 new items of secondary legislation alone. This is going to be a big undertaking.
