⬇️ 1/There’s an important debate led by @CamCavendish in @UKHouseofLords later today (6/1/22) about the increasing numbers of ‘skeleton’ Bills & the associated use of delegated powers within them. The anodyne title of the debate belies the constitutional importance of the issue.
2/ The debate follows two recent hard-hitting @UKGHouseofLords Committee reports: ‘Democracy Denied? The urgent need to rebalance power between Parliament and the Executive’ and ‘Government by Diktat: A call to return power to Parliament’.
3/ We highlighted some of the key issues in the reports shortly after they were published in this thread:

& here are the new 'self-isolation' Regulations exempting close contacts of Omicron cases from the requirement to self-isolate, providing they are fully vaccinated, under 18, in a clinical trial or medically exempt 2/ legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1415…
