Public Bodies Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am sorry, too, but would like this to be clarified. At the moment, the clause says: "““If after consultation under section 10 the Minister considers it appropriate to proceed with the making of an order under sections 1 to 6””." The Minister has already decided, in the light of consultation, that he is going to proceed with the order. That is not now in doubt because he, "““considers it appropriate to proceed””." Surely it should then say that the Minister ““must”” lay that before Parliament. I do not understand why it is not ““must””.
