Some have given credit to the Government for moving quickly following the very convincing argument made in Committee—led by my noble friend Lord Blunkett but supported by noble Lords across this House—that the Government should introduce in this Bill legislation to enable us to make fast progress with this manifesto commitment. We have done that and brought it back now on Report—in, as noble Lords have noticed, considerable length. But we are also committed to working closely with the sector to get the detailed arrangements right.
