Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

moved Amendment No. 177P: 177P: Clause 196, page 141, line 12, at end insert— ““(2A) Subject to subsection (2B), a statutory instrument containing any order or regulations under this Act is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (2B) Subsection (2A) does not apply to— (a) a statutory instrument containing an order under section 201, (b) a statutory instrument containing an order under paragraph 26(5) of Schedule 1, (c) a statutory instrument containing an Order in Council under paragraph 9 of Schedule 27, or (d) a statutory instrument to which subsection (3) applies.”” The noble Lord said: This government amendment and the ones that go with it are minor technical amendments. The Bill as it stands does not make provision for a single statutory instrument to be made combining provisions that attract the negative procedure and provisions that attract the affirmative procedure. These amendments make provision for a single statutory instrument to be made combining provisions attracting the negative procedure and provisions attracting the affirmative procedure. The amendments make it clear that such a combined statutory instrument would require the affirmative procedure. I understand that this type of provision is not unusual. I give an example from this large Bill. The provisions on violent offender orders that the Committee debated contain order-making powers, some of which require a negative resolution under Clause 150 and some of which require an affirmative resolution, for example under Clauses 157 to 160. It is conceivable that we might bring forward a single order relating to violent offender orders. Under these amendments, that entire order would be considered through the affirmative principle. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to.
