Conclusion (the committee's words)
In our view the Government’s justifications for the use of the negative procedure under clause 26 are not sufficient. It is unclear how the powers under the clause will be exercised: in particular, the respective roles played by the Tribunal Procedure Rules Committee and the Secretary of State. Given the significance of the consequences of losing an appeal the House may wish to seek clarity on this, and to and to amend the Bill to ensure that any changes are made via the affirmative resolution procedure.
