Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 34: 34: Clause 7, page 4, line 32, leave out ““in such manner as it considers appropriate”” and insert ““in such manner as to ensure that those who are, or may be, affected are informed”” The noble Lord said: This takes us a stage further on the topic we have just discussed—enforcement, as opposed to guidance. We move from ““jaw-jaw”” in Clause 6 to ““war-war”” in Clause 7. I wonder whether under Clause 7 the need for the LBRO to publish should be drafted only as, "““in such manner as it considers appropriate””." These are significant and important matters, which will now be enforced. Without any pride of ownership I suggest replacing that phrase with the words, "““in such manner as to ensure that those who are, or may be, affected are informed””." Some explanation from the Minister would be helpful as to why, when we are talking about enforcement, we have such weak publication requirements as those envisaged by Clause 7(6). I beg to move.
