As I have set out to noble Lords in Committee and elsewhere, the requirements of that standard duty are relatively straightforward, are what I would term good practice, are to be put in place only in so far as is reasonably practical, and have an assessment. Although the noble Lord Murray put a very large five-year figure from the impact assessment before the House, the reasonable cost to standard duty premises is estimated to be £330 per year. That is not in cash up front: it could be even in opportunity time for volunteers to undertake training and other things, and it relates to staff development time and the implementation of procedures.
