Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
In essence, this amendment is about legislative clarity and constitutional discipline. It ensures that the regulation-making power in the clause remains tied to its substantive objective: protecting individuals from undue financial distress. Removing “among other things” does not weaken the Bill; it strengthens its integrity by providing a clear line of accountability and ensuring that Parliament retains control over the boundaries of delegated authority. In short, this amendment would ensure that regulations made under Clause 41 stay firmly and transparently focused on the issue of financial hardship, and nothing more.
