Enterprise Act 2002 (Part 8 Domestic Infringements) Order 2013

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for that. I should have jumped in before him, so I apologise for not getting this right. I wanted to ask one question about the impact assessment and the opt-out for small businesses. I do not believe in extra burdens and regulation for businesses, but it seems odd to me that we seem to be saying that, by allowing business with fewer than 20 people to opt out, they can carry on overcharging customers. It seems odd and unfair that they will still be able to

make these charges, but generally I think that this is a great order and I am delighted that it is being brought in.
