Sixth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

This committee will scrutinise draft regulations that make technical changes to law across government in consequence of the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025. Delegated Legislation Committees review secondary legislation (statutory instruments) to ensure they properly implement parent Acts and do not exceed their powers. The committee will examine whether these consequential amendments correctly align existing rules with the new planning framework.

Consequential amendments affect multiple departments and sectors reliant on planning law. Defects in these technical changes can create legal uncertainty or unintended gaps in regulation. This scrutiny provides Parliament's formal check on executive rule-making before the regulations take effect.
