Lords amendments 3, 4, 9 and 10, which relate to the use of the affirmative procedure in the Bill, are common sense. Under the Bill as drafted, the Government would have to use the affirmative procedure if they decreased the level of the cap. That is important, and we are not seeking to change that. However, it was evident during the passage of the Bill through the Lords that there is a lack of clarity on how the Bill will work.
