We have a responsibility in this House to ensure that powers to grant legislation are exercised wisely, transparently and lawfully. We must ensure that, when things go wrong—as they sometimes will—there is a clear line of accountability, a clear record of what was done and a clear standard for those who acted. These amendments strike that balance. They enable the fight against fraud to proceed with strength, while ensuring that that strength is always exercised with integrity and under scrutiny.
