  @ MP voted no to restrict the power of ministers to correct deficiencies in retained EU law to only where such corrections are necessary, but to allow them to be made where the minister considers them appropriate. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted not to restrict the power of ministers to correct deficiencies in retained EU law to only where such corrections are necessary, but to allow them to be made where the minister considers them appropriate. 
  
  MPs were considering the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill[1].
  
  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 10.
  
  Amendment 10[2] stated:
  
  :Page 5, line 3, leave out âthe Minister considers appropriateâ and insert âis necessaryâ
  
  Explanatory notes to the Lords amendment[3] stated:
  
  :Lords Amendment 10 would amend clause 7(1) so that a Minister can only make such provision as is necessary to correct deficiencies in retained EU law. The original drafting of the Bill allows Ministers to make such provision they consider appropriate to correct deficiencies in retained EU law. 
  
  Clause 7(1) of the Bill[4] stated:
  
  :(1) A Minister of the Crown may by regulations make such provision as the Minister considers appropriate to prevent, remedy or mitigateâ
  :(a)any failure of retained EU law to operate effectively, or
  :(b) any other deficiency in retained EU law, arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU.
