Commons Bill [HL]

These amendments arise as a result of the report of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee which recommended that the directions issued under Clause 41 to exempt certain works from the controls on works in Clause 36 should be made by order rather than by administrative direction. We agree that it is appropriate for such exemptions to be issued by order, subject to the negative resolution procedure, and these amendments achieve that. I hope that Members of the Committee will support the amendments. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
