Well, i'm not an expert, and HERs may well continue as they are, but whilst they aren't statutory then you can end up with a Northamptonshire style situation where most are gotten rid of and replaced by a Superplanning/SMRtype thingy who of course could not possibly be overworked. Besides, that is only one thing it might have brought in, just checking on another. Also details of the Queen's Speech are apparently secret until it's released (or leaked to The Times).
