My main concern, which the scrutiny committee focuses on throughout its commentary, is that it seems that it will be up to Parliament to inform itself as to what these procedures will be. One of the joys of having served in both the other place and this House, as a number of us here today have, is the ability to scrutinise regulations in this Committee. We do not have to be appointed to the Committee; we can self-appoint. But I am sceptical that we will be kept aware, and I do not feel that it is incumbent on me to ask someone in the research department of the Library to find out what the changes will be in any given week, especially given the volume: going on the figures the Minister gave, there is the potential for there to be 1,000 changes at any one time.
