This amendment would therefore duplicate existing practices and introduce a broad, cross-cutting duty to have regard in all cases, alongside a blanket requirement to consult, regardless of whether it is proportionate or relevant. We believe that the current arrangements provide the right level of flexibility to engage with the sector in a targeted and meaningful way without imposing unnecessary obligations. For those reasons, I respectfully ask the noble Lord not to press his amendment. In respect to my noble friend Lord Berkeley, we will come to the consideration of EGNOS with his Amendment 65C in group 7.
