In this report, the Hansard Society proposes a three-part solution to the problem: The EU (Withdrawal) Bill should be amended to circumscribe the powers it delegates more tightly; a new, bespoke, EU (Withdrawal) Order strengthened scrutiny procedure should be introduced for the exercise of the widest delegated powers; and a new House of Commons ‘sift and scrutiny’ system – with a dedicated Delegated Legislation Scrutiny Committee – should be established for all delegated legislation UR - http://hcl1.hclibrary.parliament.uk/Other_orgs/Hansard_Society/Taking_Back_Control_FINAL.pdf ER -
