Lord Ravensdale (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

He is absolutely right that there is a broader point here, but the amendment took into account the scope limitations of the Bill, which is why we raised it in that way. He is right that there is a broader point on regulators, but that would take it outside the scope of this legislation.
