Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2026

Debate

Procedure and Privileges Committee

Contribution

My Lords, I speak as the chair of the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee, and I want to put on the record that I very much approve of the suggested additional day on Tuesdays specifically for delegated legislation. It is important that delegated legislation is given the stature that it deserves, and I think this will be a popular addition to the abilities of Members of your Lordships’ House to discuss delegated legislation. I note that it is only for a trial period initially, but I feel sure that it will be adopted on a permanent basis at the end of that period, which I would very much welcome.
