Subsidy Control Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Subsidy Control Bill.

I understand the Minister’s sensitivity, and I thank him for his answer. I was putting it the other way around: having had a scheme that, it turns out, really benefits only the international market, as the data tells you, that data can then be used to decide not to have a similar scheme. So it is a question not necessarily of designing a new scheme but of not committing the same mistake again because the data gives you the ability to make those decisions. That was the point that I was trying to make.

On the previous issue, I am sure that the Minister will already know that the impact assessment says that the cost of adding more data points is minimal, so there is no cost in financial terms, although obviously there is some administrative cost.
