As we repeatedly noted on day 1 of Committee, this legislation is technical and detailed. Where we believe we can help to amend for accuracy and keep the core text of the Bill simpler and more focused, we think we should. These consequential amendments serve as clear evidence of the Bill’s complexity, which we must all be honest about and acknowledge and not shy away from. In this light, I trust the Minister will welcome any amendments brought forward with the purpose of testing and probing the Government’s rationale for pursuing a particular course of action.
