Space Industry Bill [HL]

My Lords, I shall speak to Amendment 39 and the Motion that Clause 42 should stand part. The points made by the noble Baroness, Lady Randerson, underline why we support devolution, so we would not want this Bill to reduce in any way the responsibilities of the devolved Governments—along with the devolved city state of Prestwick.

Our concern with Clause 42 as a whole is that we do not understand why orders made under what will be Sections 38 and 40 cannot be challenged, but then refers to a schedule under which they can. We feel that the drafting could be much clearer so that it takes

account of the devolved Administrations and does not reflect an apparent conflict between the schedule and the clauses.
