🧵 Today (05/01) the #HouseofLords has 2nd Reading of the #NationalityandBordersBill. Read our briefing on 5 clauses whose #delegatedpowers raise particular concerns /1 hansardsociety.org.uk/publications/b…
Although the Bill has been significantly updated since our briefing was published, the points we raised are still of relevance (NB the clause numbering has changed) /2
In this, as in most Bills, delegated powers raise important questions of constitutional, legal, and procedural principle that matter, regardless of views on policy merits of the Bill /3
Changes that tighten the use of powers, limit the extent of discretion, and incorporate scrutiny safeguards buttress the role of #Parliament in scrutinising future executive action and regulations; they need not interfere with or prevent the implementation of intended policy /end
