My Lords, I thank the Minister for her introduction to this draft statutory instrument; it was brief and to the point. These penalties will be able to reach 10% of turnover or £100,000 per day for continuing breaches, so getting the calculations right is crucial. However, I have some concerns...

I am sure that it says in my brief that we are on target to meet the 2027 deadline. If I am mistaken about that, I will write to noble Lords, obviously.
