Commons Bill [HL]

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for raising this matter and I have a couple of questions. In an earlier debate, the Minister in response said that the independent persons who were taking forward this work would have worked on other parts of the Bill. Having re-read the Official Report, my understanding of what he said was that some would have legal expertise and some would have other attributes, not necessarily legal ones. Have the Government given any more thought to that? Also, my understanding from the previous debate was that that would come forward in the form of regulation and not in the Bill. The noble Baroness who will respond will remember the concern expressed on that issue by the noble Countess, Lady Mar, who is unable to be here today because she is not well—we all send our wishes that she is better soon—and my noble friend Lord Jopling. Have the Government given any more thought to that, too?
