Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

I thank the Minister. The noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, as ever, is opening my eyes to wider objectives of government legislation. The objective of obfuscating everything is, I suspect, part of legislation more frequently than we would care to admit or like. I felt today it worked slightly to clarify the Government’s position. I am very grateful to the Minister for that. I shall study his words carefully, as they say. My initial take is that I might, on balance, disagree with it, but I will need to look at that and may return to it. It was a useful question to ask and we will see how this works out in practice and whether we need to return to it on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the Amendment.
