Such is the great lack of clarity in how GBE will operate that I believe there is even justification for Amendment 87, in the name of my noble friend Lady McIntosh, to which I have added my name. This would require a Motion for resolution in both Houses before the Secretary of State could issue any directions. I look forward to hearing my noble friend introduce her amendment. I expect that the Minister will not be inclined to accept it in its present form, but I certainly look forward to hearing from him about how he proposes to ensure that GBE is more accountable and more transparent in pursuing its objectives and believe that the Government need to bring forward their own amendments on Report.
