My Lords, I indeed welcome what the Minister has done. One always hopes that one’s own particular remedies will be adopted, but clearly the Government have identified the same disease as we have, and have chosen to treat it in their own way. I shall do everything I can to support their effort and encourage others to do the same. There has been a great gathering together of the industry and those interested in it over this Bill. I give particular thanks to Philip Evans, who has been helping me throughout this effort, but many people have played a part, and I am glad it has had such a useful outcome—almost.
The point about establishing a mechanism to enable people who are aggrieved about the behaviour of enforcement agents to have an effective route of appeal is crucial. We do not have an effective system if we do not have that. I should be grateful if the Minister would agree to meet me to go over that point and to see what can be done and where we find ourselves. If we cannot get a satisfactory answer on that, the issue is one on which we should seek an amendment to the Bill.
