My Lords, I appreciate what the Minister says about the panels. I am not sure that I can identify where that is in the Bill, which was one reason for putting this down. In a sense, it is not about whether you leave it to the staff; it is about whether there is within the organisation the expertise—procedural and legal, as well as sector-specific—that is needed to take these appeals.
As this is the last amendment today, I thank the Minister for his patience, as I thank those of your Lordships who have persevered through the whole of this afternoon on this. I hope that we have at least given the Government some thoughts for improving the Bill. There will be a few issues to which we will return. I would welcome it if someone could write to me about where the panels bit is in the Bill and how the CMA is likely to deal with these appeals in
future. For the moment, however, a happy Christmas to everybody and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
