По сути вопроса:
Allowing members of the government to create secondary legislation is not, in itself, objectionable: parliament sensibly delegates powers to ministers, for example, to decide when a new act should be brought into force.
Much less acceptable is giving ministers the power to amend or repeal primary legislation without further parliamentary scrutiny. These are the so-called Henry VIII powers, condemned last summer by the lord chief justice.
Calling for Henry VIII powers to be "confined to the dustbin of history", Lord Judge reminded us that Henry was a dangerous tyrant who persuaded a supine parliament to pass a law giving the king's decisions the same force as acts of the legislature.
If the public bodies bill is passed as drafted, ministers will still be given extensive Henry VIII powers to modify, merge or abolish specified public bodies, most of which were created by statute.
