AMENDMENTS—THE COMMITTEE'S PROCEDURE
26. Although it has not in the past
been the practice of this Committee to report on amendments, our
terms of reference clearly permit us to do so. In general we would
expect Government Departments to alert us in good time to any
amendments of substance containing delegated powers. If time allows
the Committee is willing to report on amendments when, as in the
two instances covered by this Report, the amendments raise matters
of considerable importance.[7]
