I am also ambivalent about the concept of a code of practice, which is the other part of the amendments in this group tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Fox. My main reason for this is that it will be a complete monster. This is a 300-page Bill and, if the Government keep tabling amendments like the complicated ones in their first batch last week, it will be very much longer. I struggle to see how a single code of practice can avoid becoming so large and unwieldy that it becomes inaccessible. It will end up like the Financial Conduct Authority rulebook.
