Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 93: 93: Clause 27, page 12, line 15, after ““which”” insert ““enforcement action is regarded as so urgent that”” The noble Baroness said: The amendment is concerned with the enforcement actions and what can be excluded by way of order. In this set of amendments we are dealing particularly with matters of urgency. My Amendment No. 93 was my rather amateurish attempt to raise the issue of urgency and to seek to understand how the Government will approach it. The noble Viscount, Lord Colville of Culross, has an amendment on the same point, which he will speak to with his great experience of these matters. Amendment No. 93A came to me from the National Consumer Council and spells out certain ““circumstances””, as the term is. I do not think it matters whether that is the right term at this stage when we are dealing with the principle of the issue. The items the NCC has highlighted include human health, the environment and financial interests. Financial interests could be a major or minor item, I must say—although human health issues could also be major or minor. They are a little different in character from the others. It is important to understand the minimum circumstances in this case. Simply saying, ““I am introducing this to seek to understand how the Government will be approaching the issue of urgency”” is probably all I need to do. I do not need to argue the case for it being addressed. I beg to move.
