Together, these amendments strike a fair balance. They do not obstruct enforcement; they strengthen legitimacy. They do not undermine ministerial authority; they anchor it within a system of checks and transparency. Above all, they ensure that those subject to these powers are treated with clarity, fairness and respect. I hope that the Minister will reflect on the spirit in which these proposals have been brought forward constructively and with a genuine desire to strengthen the Bill. I urge noble Lords across the Committee to support these amendments, which provide a proportionate and practical means of reinforcing integrity in both our legislation and the public systems that it seeks to protect. I beg to move.
