Conclusion (the committee's words)
We have repeatedly been critical of ‘guidance’ provisions and the drift towards making regulation without parliamentary scrutiny. The House may be concerned that such an important area of policy is to be left to development by way of guidance. This is a poor substitute for detailed rules or guidelines made by regulations and bearing legal authority.
