Clause 26
Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Mark Prisk (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Hertford and Stortford, Conservative)
The debate has been useful because it has helped to clarify an issue that is not very clear in the Bill. Clause 26(5)(b) refers to when LBRO “considers it appropriate”. The Minister has now made it clear that a number of avenues are available to businesses to enable them to terminate any particular relationship with a primary authority. That has been helpful. In some ways, it would have been better for it to have been explicit, but with that clarification, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
