I come now to government Amendments 79 and 293, which are linked—I think I am right in saying that Amendment 293 is consequential on Amendment 79, so I will speak just to Amendment 79. It creates concurrent enforcement powers. I do not have to speak at any great length because, first, we discussed something similar when dealing with the civil aviation Bill and, secondly, my noble friend Lord Grayling has, without any co-ordination with me, raised concerns that I share. In addition to what he has said, I say only that I would support him if he were to object to these two amendments being agreed by the Committee today. I think they require a great deal more explanation as to how this is going to work. Dual enforcement is always risky. It always risks confusion and unfairness. We really have to understand how this will work.
