I thank all three noble Lords for their comments on these regulations. In summary, I think all three were saying that they welcomed them but that the regulations were somewhat on the complex side and they needed some explanation and guidance. The noble Lord, Lord Snape, gave from his own history the example of the first SI that he dealt with in opposition, many years ago back in 1992. He and I do not have to remember it but that legislation was only five pages long and these regulations are somewhat longer. The first thing to say is that things have got more complicated. As the noble Lord knows, the way we buy things has got much more complicated than it was some years ago. The old, simple package holiday is no longer there; we all buy things in a completely different way.
The noble Baroness, Lady Randerson, gave an example of the way that, as families, we sit down in front of the computer and say, “Right, let’s get a flight”. We take many more short holidays and may suddenly think, “We’ve got a long weekend—let’s get a flight”, then up jumps the offer of car hire, hotels and other things. In a sense, we create a package. For that reason, things will obviously be more complicated when putting together the regulations. It is therefore quite likely that they will have to contain more than the five pages that the noble Lord, Lord Snape, remembers so well.
