Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

This is a new regime, and a new and apparently important Bill with the LRBO. That being the case, there is nothing to be lost by writing further assurances into the Bill for people who would otherwise feel unhappy about it. That is why I wonder whether the wording in Amendment No. 34 could not be accepted. It refers to people who may be affected being kept informed, which seems quite a reasonable suggestion. It would mean that people who might be affected would have the right to be informed. I therefore wonder whether the Minister might consider accepting it on the grounds that this kind of amendment will give assurances to people who would otherwise feel rather suspicious about the new body because they do not know how things will work.
