Clause 70 - Effect of undertakings under section 69
Enterprise Bill
10:30 am
Mr Douglas Alexander (Minister of State (E-Commerce and Competitiveness), Department of Trade and Industry; Paisley South, Labour)
Through these amendments we seek to clarify that where the Bill refers to information that should be notified, such notification need not be in writing.
Amendments Nos. 181 and 188 amend the clause and schedule 6, which is the equivalent provision covering the exceptional public interest enforcement regime. Material facts about the reference must be notified to the OFT prior to acceptance of undertakings in lieu. The amendments confirm that such notification need not be in writing.
Amendment No. 193 amends schedule 7, which sets out the remedies that may be included in a final order.
