I am grateful to the Minister for the fact that the case has been considered. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I am sure that he wishes, and sincerely intends, that this requirement will be used only on the rarest of occasions. However, we all know that those rare occasions will be damaging—possibly fatal—to an individual business. I should be much happier if the Government were able to put a date beyond which the LBRO could not extend the deadline so that at least everyone would know that there was a point beyond which it could not go. I hope that the Minister may be able to give some thought to that before we come to the next stage of the Bill. In the mean time, having at least put it on the agenda with the Minister, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
