Amendments 21 to 24 would render unenforceable many requirements introduced in regulations under the Bill. Removing powers to create enforcement functions would make requirements introduced in new regulations ineffective, particularly for new supply chain actors. Without powers to effectively enforce new requirements, good businesses will be undermined by those who ignore their duties and responsibilities. I assure the House that the use of those powers already has precedent in comparable matters. The Building Safety Act 2022 is a recent example of primary legislation that created similar powers.
