On Amendments 141 and 142, I should provide some reassurance that the ORR must already consider efficiency and economic growth as part of its general duties in Clause 18. Clause 18(2)(f) specifically requires the ORR to take into account costs from public funds and the need to make efficient use of them. Likewise, Clause 18(2)(e) specifically highlights the need for the ORR to act in the public interest, with the definition of this explicitly including economic benefits.
