Amendment 179 raises the question of the need for an additional regulation-making power. Once again, it highlights the cumulative effect of broad delegated powers within what is, in many respects and as we have said before, a skeletal Bill. Where key elements of policy design are left to secondary legislation, Parliament is entitled to ask—is it not?—how those powers will be exercised, what safeguards will apply and how much certainty trustees and providers can realistically expect as they prepare to implement the framework.
