My Lords, I had understood that the noble Baroness clearly embraced the principle of light touch—or however one cares to express it. So far, I have not found in the Bill anything that expresses that. I do not think that I would expect to find the expression "light touch" in the Bill but I would expect to find words that convey that impression to me. Up until now, I have not seen them. Maybe the Minister's reply will demonstrate that for the first time.
