Amendments requiring additional parliamentary scrutiny of the revised sunset provisions, on revised provisions on the revocation of rights, powers, liabilities etc, and on inserting a new provision on environmental protection and food standards, were rejected.
MPs approved further amendments regarding the schedule of the Bill to be sunsetted, and requiring a specific list of provisions intended for revocation or reform in the reporting periods. All remaining amendments were agreed.
The ‘ping pong’ process continues, with the Commons amendments now going to the Lords next week.
