I am very disappointed by the way in which the Government have gone about this. Their reasoning is weak. Frankly, it is an affront to this House that they have failed to provide proper reasons, given that there is clearly no government impact assessment on any of these important sectors. It is something that has been discussed many times, and Peers from all Benches have agreed that the short note that the Government have provided is completely insufficient for effective scrutiny. This review will ensure that they do a better job in the run-up to future fiscal events. I hope my review amendment will secure the support of the House.
