More broadly, given the Henry VIII power in subsection (5), I would be grateful if the Minister could explain why it is necessary for these regulations to be capable of amending or repealing acts of Parliament. What safeguards will ensure that Parliament retains effective oversight? This is a probing intervention but an important one. Clause 31 underpins much of the regime that follows, so it is right that the Committee is clear about the scope, limits and accountability of the powers being taken before allowing the clause to stand part of the Bill.
