Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

We have language like ““backstop”” and ““compulsory””, and a letter the noble Lord, Lord Jones, wrote to me in December, after Second Reading, contained the words ““reserved power””. We are seeking some enlightenment. The only thing the Minister said was ““administrative purposes””. Administrative purposes come every day. What is this power intended to be kept for? If local authorities thought that it was likely to be frequently used, they would simply sit on their hands and say, ““We had better wait until we are told””.
