Flood and Water Management Bill

I thank the Minister for that explanation. I had no wish to alarm him. On coming to this place, I learnt of Henry VIII powers; I had thought it was beyond even the power of that extremely powerful king to amend any other enactments. It might have been easier if it had said "related to the Bill" and then it would have been quite clear that this power applies to the family of flood and water legislation. That might have simplified matters. I accept the Minister's reassurance on the matter and I understand the facility that it brings to the Government. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 59 withdrawn. Clause 29 agreed. Clause 30 agreed.
