This is the only change to the licence enforcement process proposed in the Bill. All the other powers remain the same. The ORR will therefore hold the same role on licences in the future as it does today and will still be able to take the following enforcement steps: it can escalate the issue to the GBR board, it can require the creation and publication of an improvement plan, and it can issue a legally binding enforcement order to force GBR to change its actions. I add that the Government also reject Amendment 292 because there are enough serious duties on board members of a public body such as GBR without suggesting that they should be pursued individually. These powers provide appropriate enforcement routes without a pointless money-go-round, and I therefore ask the noble Lord not to press his amendments.
