Lords ChamberI assure the noble Lord that when we legislate we most certainly do, and will, take care to ensure that powers are delegated appropriately.
My Lords, can I commend to the Leader of the House the transcripts of recent evidence sessions of the Constitution Committee? They illustrate so clearly that this is not merely a procedural problem for this House; the inability to amend statutory instruments has profound effects on those who have to carry out the law and would rather have it in the form of primary legislation.
Again, I will look at the points that the noble Lord has raised.
