Recommendation
We therefore conclude, in these exceptional and unusual circumstances, that the Government has sufficiently compelling reasons to proceed by way of remedial order. However, this should not be taken as a precedent by other Departments in the future: if a Bill is either before Parliament or about to be laid before Parliament concerning a particular policy area, absent some similarly weighty reasons, the Government must use that Bill to make changes to primary legislation, not a remedial order. (Conclusion, Paragraph 91)
