I anticipate that the Front Bench will suggest it has already covered this. I hope that the words I have said prove the contrary. I imagine it will say that the drafting is imprecise, that the enforcement is not consistent with the current regime, that we cannot do things by piecemeal and that risk assessments are too burdensome on business—to which I say, after a decade and a half in your Lordships’ House, that the drafting has always been subject to discussion once the principle has been passed and that the current enforcement of the OSA is a cause of frustration for government and parliamentarians alike. So, yes, it is deliberately additive—and, frankly, better—and yes, I would like to start to look at the OSA in the round, but the Secretary of State has made it utterly clear that that is not where she is at.
