I assure noble Lords that we will consult on these requirements as we develop the necessary regulations. The noble Earl, Lord Howe, and other noble Lords may be aware that, as I referred to on our first day in Committee, the Government launched a technical call for evidence on 8 October; that included questions on registration and what information businesses may need to provide. I emphasise that it is the first stage in the process. I encourage the noble Baroness and other noble Lords to engage in that process in order to ensure that their views are considered. We think that it is best to wait until after the consultation has concluded to decide what information will be required to be provided by relevant producers and importers.
