Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 88: 88: Schedule 4, page 46, line 28, leave out ““or directions”” The noble Baroness said: My note says nothing more than, ““Oppose LBRO’s direction-making power””. I will put the point in the same way, knowing that there is a great deal more business to be got through before we get to the end of this Committee stage. Having debated the principle, albeit in a different part of the Bill, I was simply going to ask whether the Minister had more to say than was said when we came to the point in Part 1. However, as we have the noble Lord, Lord Jones, here, I shall ask him whether he has more to say. It will be a delight to hear him defend the direction-making power with which some of us feel distinctly uncomfortable.
