The delegated power in the Bill is essential to ensure that consequential amendments can be made to other legislation to make any necessary fixes that were not able to be fully foreseen at the point of legislating. This will ensure that the Government are able to effectively implement national minimum standards, which will mean that wherever passengers travel, the drivers and vehicles they use will be subject to rigorous safety standards. This is an important step towards delivering on our commitments following the recent national audit on group-based child sexual exploitation and abuse from the noble Baroness, Lady Casey.
