The motion

Proposed by Stephen Doughty

I beg to move amendment 38, page 7, line 27, leave out “the Minister considers appropriate” and insert “is necessary”. This amendment changes the threshold for giving a Minister power to make regulations under this Clause. The threshold is amended to make it objective rather than subjective.
