Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

Perhaps the noble Baroness will forgive me if I say one word by way of thanks. I have no particular pride in my drafting; I simply put down some issues to raise the point and see what happened. The noble Lord has been very generous in saying that he will take away and consider the matter, but I urge him to put in as many provisions as he can, properly drafted, and, if necessary, to leave the rest to be added by further statutory instrument. That is not an uncommon system for dealing with things and at least everyone will know to some extent what will not have to be consulted on. I say that at this stage only because I think that when the Bill comes back on Report I shall be engaged in other parliamentary business, which will make it impossible for me to attend the debates on this Bill. Therefore, I am reliant on what the noble Lord, Lord Bach, has said and I very much look forward to the result of his further consideration.
