I turn to the publication of authorisation information. The SLSC asked the FSA how stakeholders and interested parties, such as us, would be notified about new and updated product authorisations in the absence of legislative change. The FSA explained the mechanism of contacting applicants directly and sending stakeholders regular updates, and that such communication will continue once this SI is in place. Can the Minister say why it was not possible for the Explanatory Memorandum to explain this mechanism, which I would have thought was an essential bit of information?
