I do have some sympathy with the argument of not including long lists of detailed reporting requirements. That is why I have restricted this amendment to giving the Treasury the ability to require more information to be published at its discretion, and then including on the very bare minimum of what we should expect to be seeing in relation to GB Energy’s activities. It simply includes how much, in what, why and with what impact. I hope that that is the Government’s intention already, but given how thin this Bill is in terms of transparency and accountability, I do think we should be requiring to see at least these minimum items, and I do not believe that Amendment 89 sets them at a very onerous level.
