There is one further issue that I do not think has been raised previously in the House that this amendment would resolve, which is the anxiety that is still held by the Office for Environmental Protection on the regressive nature of Part 3. Although it has said grudgingly that the government amendments have helped, it has lingering concerns. The concern is now beginning to be shared by the European Commission in the context of the EU-UK trade and co-operation agreement. Can the Minister say whether she is aware of this concern that is arising in terms of our ongoing relationship and the wish to develop an effective relationship with our major trading partner?
