My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow my friend, the noble Lord, Lord Fox, and to start with his Amendment 93, which I was delighted to co-sign. As he stated in finishing, it goes to the heart of this issue. A lot is being asked of an organisation that is currently small and obviously not set up to perform the tasks that are being asked of it by the Bill, as it is currently structured. To not have clarity as to what provisions are going to be put in place, while putting the obligations on the commissioner, does not seem to be the right way to get optimal results from this.

As the noble Lord, Lord Fox, said, there are a number of examples where regulators and other bodies have been given packages that sit alongside the obligations required of them from previous Bills that we have all worked on. So there is nothing extraordinary or unusual about this. It is critical to have sight of that before having a sense of the likelihood of success or, indeed, of what other route we may choose to take with amendments when we come to Report.

I support the principles behind all the amendments in the group. In many ways, they are all in pursuit of clarity and precision. We heard in earlier debates that certain phrases and sections of the Bill were need of precision. We see it again with some of the key phrases here. I support all these amendments. I look forward to the Minister’s response.
