I was surprised to see this paragraph in the schedule. I support the noble Baroness in wondering what it is intended to do. After all, the way it is phrased: "““LBRO may delegate its functions under this Schedule to such other person as it considers appropriate””"
means that anyone can be given by the LBRO the power to direct that enforcement action should be taken or not. It can direct local authorities about any enforcement action. The LBRO has tremendous powers in this schedule, any of which can be delegated to anyone else. Who is that? Which powers will be delegated? To whom is it thought even slightly appropriate that the powers of direction, for example, should be granted? I have not so far been able to find any guidance on that in what has been published, and I would be grateful to know what is intended.
