Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I want to assure the noble Lord, Lord Cope, and Members generally. As I listened to that, I was thinking that there are three words here that need clarity of definition and of extent: ““delegation””, ““responsibility”” and ““function””. As the noble Baroness, Lady Wilcox, reminded me earlier, this is my first time, and I did not know whether I was going to be able to do what I want, which is to say, ““I think we should take this back and look at the definitions of those three words””. I think the LBRO has to have the ability to go to specialists, otherwise it will fail, but that does not mean we do not have to deal with the legitimate points that Members have raised. I was wondering whether I would be able to make that promise to the Committee, and I am grateful that my officials have just said exactly the same thing. On that basis, we will take that back. I make it clear that the provision has to work, but the Committee deserves to have those three words clarified.
