Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have published the Regulations necessary to extend the Pavement Licensing regime beyond September 2023.
The Business and Planning Act 2020 (Pavement Licences) (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2023 were laid in both Houses on 7 June 2023 under the Draft affirmative procedure.
Instruments subject to the draft affirmative procedure are laid in draft and require approval in Parliament before being signed into law. Instruments concerning taxation are not laid in the Lords and only require the approval of the Commons. The Commons debates the instrument in a Delegated Legislation Committee or in the Commons Chamber, where a decision on approval is made. The Lords debates the instrument in Grand Committee or in the Lords Chamber, where a decision on approval is made.
