Conclusion
Some of the powers to make secondary legislation in the draft bill are drafted too broadly and too vaguely, and in places have not been adequately justified. While we agree that there is a proper role for delegated powers in the final bill, each must be clearly justified and tightly drafted so that secondary legislation may only be used by ministers for the precise purpose Parliament intends. Henry VIII clauses should not be added to legislation “just in case” they are needed. (Conclusion, Paragraph 231)
