Clause 24 - Orders and regulations
Private Security Industry Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mr John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
The purpose of the clause is clear, but its interpretation might not be. Will the Minister confirm that it does not provide in every case, perhaps because it is not intended to do so, an answer to the question whether the order or regulation about which there is debate, inquiry or controversy will be subject to the affirmative procedure? Does he accept that the clause admits of different treatment of different orders, without advance notice of it? It enables the Government to decide the chosen format.
