Amendment 563 would require that, before Clause 191 is brought into force, the Government conduct a 12-week public consultation and publish an analysis of the responses. These are modest amendments. They simply insist that, before a change of this magnitude is implemented, the Government give full consideration to its likely impact and to wider public opinion, because this certainly did not happen during the measly 46 minutes that Back-Benchers got to respond to the amendment in the other place. I give way to the noble Lord.
