Intellectual Property (Exhaustion of Rights) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. I was going to try to be helpful, although he may not welcome the intervention.

When we have had similar discussions on SIs and similar confusion and annoyance have been expressed on all sides about the fact that consultation has not been done in the usual manner and statements have not been provided, the Government have used the argument—the noble Lord did not use it on this occasion—that the de minimis provision is that the department has made an estimate, which is presumably accepted by Ministers, that the burden of the costs that will fall on the industries affected by the SI is less than £5 million. Is that the case with this arrangement—yes or no?
