I appreciate that the guard-rails I am proposing may be intended for inclusion in secondary legislation, but that would risk the relatively easy removal of such protections by any future Government. It would also risk the possibility of proper protection of privileged information not being included, even by this Government, in the product or metrology regulations that they will bring forward after the passage of the Bill. Protecting privileged information in the Bill insures against such possibilities; I hope the Minister agrees. I look forward to his response and beg to move Amendment 106.
