For people trying to understand what the row is this week over coronavirus law, please see the attached summary of procedure for delegated legislation, here:

parliament.uk/about/how/laws…

The problem is that the Government has been over-using the "rare" made affirmative procedure.
"Most SIs subject to the affirmative procedure are laid in the form of a draft SI. They are considered by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI)." ...
"The role of this committee is to scrutinise the SI to ensure it is legal and *does not go beyond the powers specified in the parent Act*." [emphasis mine]

The Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 is subject to JR, now at appeal:

hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2020-0…
See for example:

And do look at the excellent Coronavirus Statutory Instruments Dashboard from @HansardSociety - it is very much more interesting than it sounds!

And massive thanks to everyone at @HansardSociety for such hard work and a great tool.

🥀 What’s happening is the slow collapse of the post war social democratic system under the weight of state intervention, tax, debt and currency debasement.

🇬🇧Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the UK leaving the EU.

🌎Brexit has allowed us to unlock our international trade potential meaning that #Wycombe, #Bucks, #NI, and the rest of the UK have easier access to global trade.
👇Take CPTPP, for example, which I long advocated for the UK to join.

📊When the UK fully enters it later this year, our membership will deliver lower tariffs, easier connections, and better trade.

👏We will be the first European country to join #CPTPP.

🗣️I held a debate in Parliament on CPTPP in 2021.

“CPTPP can provide a better standard of living for people in the UK & across the original member countries. It can deliver free trade plus self-government in this great age of interventionism.”

👉About 15 years ago, @TobyBaxendale and I founded @CobdenCentre to argue for social progress through honest money, free trade and peace.

👇We see now more clearly than ever the damage done by war, restrictions on trade and easy money.
@TobyBaxendale @CobdenCentre 🗽Importantly, @MaxRangeley, @CobdenCentre and I are producing vital work to show how our monetary system has caused many of the problems we are currently experiencing.
@TobyBaxendale @CobdenCentre @MaxRangeley We are producing:

-📓A book chapter on central banks, global economic institutions, and cryptocurrency.

-📺A documentary on how our current monetary system has led us to economic despair.

-📋An economic paper showing the need for interest rates to be set by the free market.

🚨🚗 My statement on the threatened closure of High Wycombe's Driving Test Centre 🚗🚨

⬇⬇⬇

"I was extremely disappointed to be informed last week about the threatened closure, once again, of High Wycombe’s Driving Test Centre."
"Having been through this before, just over a year ago, I remain determined for High Wycombe to maintain driving tests for the thousands of learner drivers in our town."

💻My joint article with @profpauldolan for @timesredbox on the changes necessary to the Online Safety Bill 👇

thetimes.co.uk/article/its-no…
@profpauldolan @timesredbox 👎Under the threat of penalties, social media companies won’t risk allowing content that could come close to “legal but harmful” to remain on its platform.

💀Free speech and free discussion on the internet will die a slow and painful death.
@profpauldolan @timesredbox 📱It would become unlawful to make a social media post that is intended to cause harm to a likely audience: anyone who may come across the post on the internet.

👉Online abuse is abhorrent, but are we going to become a country that puts people in jail for two years for a tweet?

🗣My speech to @EastBelfastCA last night ⬇️

The Northern Ireland Protocol was always unfinished business. That's why we said Boris' deal was a tolerable path to a great future.

We surely now all agree the NIP does not deliver what it promised.
It has divided the two communities, destroyed political confidence, ended power sharing and caused trade diversion.

These are all not only good reasons for change but reasons which were foreseen.
Even its doctrinaire defenders say it will be changed, but don’t ever spell out how this will happen.

Moreover, the vague promises - from the people who cheered the disastrous, demonstrably unsustainable Protocol on - leave us entirely dependent on trusting the EU’s goodwill
