I have a general query about section 75(12), which states:

Where the Minister decides under subsection (11) that a draft direction should be issued under section 76, he or she shall—

(a) identify in the stated reasons provided under paragraph (b) which of the criteria in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (8) the Minister considers to be met, and

(b) direct the Office of the Planning Regulator to issue a draft direction...

I am confused about the term "draft direction". Perhaps I have forgotten what was said in previous debates but from previous discussions, I thought a draft direction would be issued by the regulator and the Minister would then decide whether to enact it or not to give effect to it. Is this different?
