Recommendation 12
12
Not Addressed
Inadequate time and resources prevented detailed scrutiny of Bill's delegated powers.
Conclusion
We have not had the time or resource to comb through the Bill or take evidence on the delegated powers within it, although we note that the published Delegated Powers Memorandum for the Bill is 75 pages long. We stated at the beginning of this Report that the Bill’s timetable and handling has not allowed us to conduct detailed legislative scrutiny. (Conclusion, Paragraph 65)
Government Response Summary
The government thanks the Committee for reviewing the published documents and defends the detailed nature and justification of the Bill's delegated powers, without addressing the Committee's lack of time for detailed scrutiny.

Not Addressed
Government response to Conclusion eleven: We thank the Committee for reviewing the products published alongside the Bill. The Delegated Powers Memorandum is deliberately detailed to set out the rationale for the powers and the justification for their use. The delegated powers the Bill proposes to take are, in our view, justified and proportionate and we have sought to provide as much detail as we can to support their scrutiny.
