The noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, asked about publicly available information. The online public registers and lists that I referred to will provide simpler and more accessible and transparent listings of authorised regulated products, with all information relating to an authorisation presented in one place. That will be an improvement on where we are now. Authorisations are currently detailed in a large number of lengthy and unnecessarily complex pieces of legislation. The FSA and FSS already maintain registers and lists of authorised products as an administrative tool to accompany authorisations. They will be updated in line with the requirements of this SI, when it comes into force.
