Amendment 258, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Fox, despite its positive intention, seeks to impose a review procedure that, in effect, repeats what this Government already intend to do. Our impact assessment outlines a plan for monitoring and evaluating the impact of the Bill and subsequent secondary legislation. My commitment to meet to discuss the impact assessments with noble Lords still holds. I would welcome any noble Lords who would like to go through all of them. In line with the Better Regulation Framework, with respect to post-implementation review, we will review how the reforms impact SMEs, which the Government recognise as vital to economy.
