The amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Grayling, is in a similar vein. We share his intentions and what he sets out to do. However, Amendment 18 goes a little further and is clearer in defining what production is. Whereas his amendment sets out a useful boundary, ours fills in the framework inside that boundary. Without a statutory definition of UK production, and without the reporting duty that our amendment would provide, it is difficult with the other amendment to guarantee that levy revenues are genuinely strengthening domestic capacity.
