My Lords, we are trying to streamline the processes, as the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, would acknowledge. We are trying to speed them up, as we have already debated. That is central to the Bill. As a result the CMA needs access to the relevant information, which it has. There have been a number of cases where the OFT has had difficulty getting to the information that it requires from the market-study stage, so this is being done to make sure that it does. The clause extends the powers to request the information and ask parties to give evidence so that consistent powers will cover the whole piece. They are subject to statutory limits. The most important thing is that business has clarity of vision and knows the direction of travel, and that is why speed, time limits and penalties send a clear message to business.
The noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, asked quite rightly if sector regulators have Clause 30 powers. We need to look at this more carefully. We have not come to a firm landing on it, but we could perhaps have dialogue on this together before Report. If we can bottom that out we will, but if we cannot we will make a commitment to look at it in secondary legislation. I commend this clause.
