	question text	To ask the Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by the Leader of the House on 17 December that the convention on statutory instruments "has now broken" (HL Deb, col 2197), on how many occasions since the second World War such a breakage has occurred.
	tabling member printed	Lord Grocott
	uin	HL4793
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2016 answer text <p>Prior to October 2015, the House of Lords had rejected statutory instruments on four occasions since World War II. None of those occasions concerned a statutory instrument implementing a budget measure intended to deliver £4.4bn of savings that had already been approved by the House of Commons - thereby overruling the elected House on a matter of public spending - nor is it precedented for the House of Lords to decline to consider a statutory instrument until the Government has made specific changes to the policy underpinning it. The House's decision to withhold agreement to the Tax Credits (Income Thresholds and Determination of Rates) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 therefore broke new ground, and may be regarded as a breach of the convention underpinning the House's powers in regard to secondary legislation as well as the longer-standing convention regarding the financial primacy of the House of Commons.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston question first answered 08/01/2016 14:52:10 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2023 answer text <p>The Government continues to make progress with the work necessary to enable a response to the full report when it is published in March next year. It is only reasonable that the Inquiry, whose work is in train, concludes and provides their final recommendations before the Government takes action. The Government recognises that there is interest in pre-registration for compensation ahead of its response to the Inquiry’s final report. However, as the Minister for the Cabinet Office set out to the Inquiry in July, opening registration for compensation before the Government has finalised its response would be a difficult step to take.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe grouped question UIN HL165 question first answered 23/11/2023 16:16:30 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
