Energy Bill

Please let me finish. That is fine; the Minister did respond to them. But if the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, had been here speaking on behalf of the National Consumer Council he would have been able to repeat its mantra—I know because I chaired it before him—that there may be many, many reports and many, many things written, but so often for consumers they are process-driven rather than product-led. It is not the information that people want or can use; it is not given to them in a way in which they can use it. That is why the suggestion of the noble Lord, Lord O’Neill, was certainly new. I am grateful to all Members of the Committee who spoke; the debate has widened considerably. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
