My Lords, I should like to understand what the Minister was saying a little earlier. Is she saying that the condition proposed by the amendment, ““an adverse impact on the regulatory objectives taken as a whole?, would only be met if all the objectives were adversely affected? I do not understand it that way. As I understand it, you look at the totality of the objectives and ask whether some of them are adversely affected and whether that consideration is not outweighed by improvement to the other objectives. Surely that is what one is meant to be doing. If the Minister is really saying that the provision can only be triggered if all the objectives are adversely affected, I see great force in her argument, but I do not think that that is what the amendment begins to say.
