In relation to centralisation, my point was not against transparency but about a centrally prescribed form of transparency. There is a view that there should be a requirement for transparency but also a degree of flexibility as to how local authorities go about it. It is the centralisation which runs contrary to the position that the Minister was taking. I understand what the Minister said about Redbridge and data sharing. It is still quite difficult to get an understanding of the extent of the volume of individual voters out there who are making use of those and the use to which they are putting them. It might be somebody sitting at home after the football, switching on the computer and having a trawl through it. I am trying to get a better sense of how this is being used, in particular—I do not think the noble Lord addressed this issue—the circumstances where this is actually going to help somebody get more business, in the private sector or in the voluntary sector.
My point about new burdens was on the proposition, or supposition, that the order would involve more reporting more frequently. From what I understood the noble Lord to say, at the end of the day this is an enabling order; nothing is going to flow from it directly at the moment. Obviously, if that is the case then it could not generate a new burden. Is it right that this is just bringing forward an opportunity for a Government at some stage in the future to change the code so that some of those things published annually at the moment could be made to be published more frequently or, presumably, to enable those things that do not have to be published at all under the code to be published? It would be quite helpful to have something specific on that to make sure that we have understood it.
