That's obviously got no possibility for mis-use then....

>>It is set to give ministers more power to change retained EU law more quickly than before, without needing votes in Parliament.

Allowing ministers to change law without requiring a vote is never going to end well.

It is bad enough, IMHO, that Statutory Instruments can be abused but to have a legal means for ministers to alter just about anything they please (I doubt the proposed law will list the acts it applies to.. so therefore it actually applies to all acts) on a whim, relegates us from a (notional) democracy to something far less appealing.
