Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

I welcome the clarification in the amendments. The extract from ““Halsbury’s Laws”” and the maxim that he read out today, as he did on Report, were entirely clear. However, Lords amendment No. 29 says:"““In subsection (2)(e) ‘function of legislating’ has the same meaning as in section 5.””" Clause 5—it will become section 5 on enactment—has no definition of ““function of legislating.”” However, clause 5 places conditions upon ““function of legislating.”” Will my hon. Friend explain why Lords amendment No. 29—not that he can speak for the Lords—does not talk about the ““function of legislating”” being subject to the same conditions as in section 5? That is the direction that the other place wishes to go and the direction in which we should be going. There is a risk that the Bill as amended would be unclear, and I do not think that a Minister, or anyone with delegated power under the Bill, could change the working of clause 5.
