Amendment 179 also seeks to require that all regulations made under Schedule 25 to update the devolution framework and set up pilot schemes must be accompanied by a published written statement explaining the purpose, rationale and evidence. This aspect of Amendment 179 is duplicative. When laying statutory instruments before Parliament to make any regulations, the Government are already required to set out the purpose and rationale for making regulations. Parliamentarians will be able to scrutinise the Government on their purpose and rationale for making any regulations.
