Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

Perhaps the noble Lord will glory in that on the next amendment. I am grateful for the comments. I do not believe that effectively, economically and efficiently are tautologous; they do not at all mean the same thing. Economically and efficiently may be fairly close, but you can be economical without being effective, for instance. The Minister described it as a trinity; I have written ““mantra””; it comes to rather the same thing. Of course I agree with him that one needs to look at all of this from the point of view of the consumer. I was concerned that local authorities should not fall foul of the Audit Commission by being required to pay attention to one of these matters and not all three. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 19 not moved.]
