Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the Minister for his thoughtful—I think that is the right word—reply. I am no parliamentary draftsman. It struck me that if the direction is specific it presumably means that it must be pretty directly related to something already in the Bill; it cannot be something unrelated, it must be close. I have no doubt that a general direction must still be related to the Bill but is much wider. I was concerned with that width. Would it be a back-stop power when the word ““general”” is used? If it is not a back-stop power, when would it be used? However, I am grateful for the Minister’s undertaking to consider all these matters. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 50 not moved.]
