Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

Can the noble Lord expand a little on the reasons for when this would happen? He quoted bad practice and lack of interpretation of the rules, but it is not moving far away from the reasons for sacking, for example, the chairman of the board of the rail regulator if they have not behaved properly. If things have got that bad, one would expect them to resign anyway if this kind of thing came about. On that basis, I should have thought that there are already enough powers to change what the regulator is doing if it is really so ineffective. Given the proposed MoUs, the system would probably work much better. I am still not persuaded that there is a good enough reason for going through all this. Perhaps I have got it wrong.
