Enabling the implementation of uncontroversial Law Commission recommendations, including those that amend the common law. Providing a power to sub-delegate, i.e. provide for rule-making powers in an RRO. Removing the current restriction on using an RRO to amend legislation less than 2 years' old, or provisions which have been amended in the previous 2 years. Enabling an RRO to be used to remove or reduce burdens on a Minister or government department to facilitate public sector reform and modernisation. Contains provisions to make the proposed new risk-based Regulatory Compliance Code statutory, and to define the extent of its effect.
