Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

My Lords, the amendment is interesting; on the one hand, the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, has made a compelling point, as indeed, on the other hand, did my noble friend Lord Hunt. Both points, although they differ, are things that we all want to safeguard against. The other point that was not made is that the amendment would not safeguard against the big company buying the small company, which we also want to safeguard against. I think that we are all talking the same language and, on that basis, if my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral, will allow us, I think we ought to take this issue away, roll our sleeves up a little more with some hot towels—or cold, if he prefers; some days I prefer cold, I must say—and look at it a bit further. If he is happy on that basis, I ask him to withdraw his amendment.
