Subsidy Control Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Subsidy Control Bill.

I am interested in this concept of a chilling effect. What evidence is there for that, and what consultation has there been? There may or may not be a chilling effect. It seems like more of an idea than a practical reality. I have a suggestion that might help. The Bill could start out with a longer reporting time—perhaps 60 days, or something along those lines—and the evidence, or otherwise, of a chilling effect could be gathered. If necessary, and if the reality of a chilling effect actually emerges, the Government could come back and reduce that period by statutory instrument.
