The majority of MPs voted against requiring the National policy statement issued by the Secretary of State to be approved by both Houses of Parliament.[1]
The argument for making it subject to approval by Parliament was that it would make a judicial appeal against it harder to do.[2]
The argument against subjecting it to approval by Parliament was that it did not fit in the category of secondary legislation -- even though they have the force of law, as well as far-reaching consequences.[3]
