As currently drafted, the Bill preserves the Government’s ability to repeal the strategic licensing measures and make consequential, supplementary or incidental provision to all relevant legislation whenever it was passed. This will help to protect the wider licensing framework, ensuring that the licensing system for our capital remains balanced and effective. I also reassure the noble Lord that this delegated power will be subject to the affirmative procedure, which we judge gives it the appropriate level of parliamentary scrutiny.
