The changes enabled by Clause 32 vary in their nature. There may be significant changes—for example, the power to specify a new use in Schedule 1 by virtue of which premises may be brought into scope. Other changes could be made under Clause 32 that could be minor or clarificatory in nature. For example, it may be the case that small technical changes to the descriptions of types of premises in Schedule 1 are recommended to provide clarity. However, I give the Committee the assurance that, in all cases, the Government would engage with any stakeholders identified as relevant to the proposal in question. For minor and clarificatory changes to Schedule 1, that might not even be outside government; it might be within government. Where the proposal is more significant, the Government might need to consult more widely as appropriate, but that would be done in a way appropriate to how it could be potentially delivered downstream.
