Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
Amendment 179 would require the Secretary of State to make regulations for the extension of a pilot scheme using the affirmative procedure, rather than the negative procedure. The Government believe that the negative procedure is sensible and proportionate for this regulation-making power, as the Secretary of State will be extending a pilot scheme that would already have received parliamentary approval via the affirmative procedure.
