Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill

My Lords, surely there is a difference between something that is appropriate as guidance, where right-minded people would think

that guidance was appropriate, versus Henry VIII clauses, where Ministers are seeking to grant themselves sweeping powers over which there is no scrutiny. What we are saying here is not, “Let’s grant Henry VIII powers to a Secretary of State”, but rather that there are appropriate places for things, and on this occasion, guidance is the appropriate place.
