Conclusion (the committee's words)
We share the concern of the SLSC, the JCSI and others about inconsistencies between legislation and guidance, and the use of guidance to fill gaps in legislation. We support the SLSC in its recommendation that it is crucial that departments ensure a clear and appropriate distinction between legislation and guidance.
