in Clause 3. Clause 3(2)(d) enables Great British Energy to respond to any potential future energy crisis and to deliver measures to support security of supply. The noble Lord will know that we think that the best way to guarantee energy security is to build homegrown energy, but I take the substance of what he said. He wanted to see a definition of “security of the supply” of energy. The problem with trying to define this is the list system: the issue is what is excluded from his very careful definition. That is why we resist the noble Lord’s amendment, but I assure him that we see security of supply as very important, and clearly, Great British Energy has the ability to take that into account.
