      Principles of the committee
      The committee scrutinises delegated legislation to ensure:

      	-  that it does not trespass unduly on personal rights and liberties;
 
      	-  that it does not unduly make the rights and liberties of citizens dependent upon administrative decisions which are not subject to review of their merits by a judicial or other independent tribunal; and
