Justification Decision (Scientific Age Imaging) Regulations 2023 Lord Sharpe of Epsom moved that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 13 September 2023 be approved. Then Baroness Brinton moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Sharpe of Epsom, at end to insert “but that this House regrets that (1) the Regulations are premature as the policy is still under development, (2) it is unclear whether a person can freely consent to the specified tests, (3) there is no defined mechanism for the Secretary of State to monitor and review the policy, and (4) neither an impact assessment, nor costs associated with the Regulations, have been presented to Parliament for scrutiny; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to withdraw the Regulations until the policy has been developed in full and an impact assessment and costings have been provided to Parliament.” After debate, the amendment was agreed to (see division 1). Then the original motion, as amended, was agreed to.
