Furthermore, our Amendment 61E would limit the power of the Minister to the scope of the subsection in which it is located. At first glance, this may appear to be a minor adjustment, but the Bill as drafted has significant implications for the breadth of the Minister’s powers under the clause. The amendment seeks to limit those powers by ensuring that the scope of any regulations made under this clause is confined to what is explicitly set out in the text of the subsection: namely, the assessment of whether a deduction order would cause financial hardship to the liable person.
