Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

So far, I am not reassured. I hope I may be at a future stage. Not having the right in-house experience does not mean you have to delegate to those who have the experience; you take advice from them. The LBRO should be responsible for the decisions and actions, and should remain so. Delegation is a step a good deal further than the Minister describes as being necessary. Of course the LBRO will take advice from others—I entirely accept that—but taking advice is not the same as handing over responsibility.
