I now regret asking my hon. Friend to give way. Perhaps he could help me or ask the Minister to help me. Is not my hon. Friend’s confusion added to by the fact that ““connection”” is referred to throughout the Bill, which I agree is separate from ownership as far as any of us can see? It does not necessarily involve shareholding because, as I understand it, it does not have to be a legal person. To make things worse, the heading of new clause 22 refers to ““Entities controlled…by local authorities””. It is the juxtaposition in the same context of ““controlled””, ““connected”” and ““owned”” that is perplexing. I hope that the Minister can clarify that for us.
