Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that, particularly the reference back to the Competition Act, which I had not picked up. It is quite clear that we have that flexibility in a cross-market reference to a particular practice.

On the schedule itself, I accept that the Government’s intention is that it is the consumer detriment or benefit that needs to be assessed. It would be nice if the parliamentary draughtsman could occasionally remind

us of that; I am afraid that he has failed to do so in this schedule. If there is anything that the Government can do quietly at later stages without upsetting too many people, but pleasing me, I would be extremely grateful. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
