Clause 56 - Specified considerations
Enterprise Bill
6:45 pm
Miss Melanie Johnson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of Trade and Industry; Welwyn Hatfield, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman and I will have to agree to differ on that point. I am listening to him carefully, but I do not believe that he is making a case for doing anything other than what we are doing. He is failing to tackle the question of how exactly, under the arrangements, he would deal with things that might be akin to national security but not be national security. He cannot say whether something that crops up that neither he nor I can foresee will be more akin to that and therefore ought to be dealt with by the route set out here rather than the route that he is advocating of simply going through the Competition Commission.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 56 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
