There is an important link between the amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe, and a later government amendment, Amendment 46, which was debated last week and which will repeal Schedule 1 to the Weights and Measures Act and remove the Henry VIII power that would have allowed secondary legislation to amend or remove other provisions of that Act, including Section 8(2)(d). We will have therefore already achieved the intention to prevent the repeal or amendment of that section.
