I am hopeful that the Government will support Amendment 9, and give details of the statement process and how it will work. I am also hopeful that, having done that, we on these Benches will have met our strategic aim to improve the Bill and make it more accountable and thorough, in a way that a number of organisations can gauge, in the formulation of these future regulations. I hope that it meets the injunction of the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral, that we need to do things better. It may not be perfect—I am sure it will not be—but I hope that it will be a useful step in the right direction.
