As noble Lords mentioned, at Second Reading some noble Lords supported the 200 threshold that the Government have settled on; my noble friend Lord Harris of Haringey suggested today that he would have supported a lower threshold of 100; amendments in the names of the noble Lord, Lord Frost, and others, suggested 300; and the noble Lord, Lord Udny-Lister, suggested 500. Ultimately, the Government have to make a judgment on those figures—there is no right number.
