My Lords, the amendment has a serious consumer-protection objective, but I doubt whether it can achieve it. Consent forms in most areas of life, particularly complex forms, simply do not ensure that purchasers are fully aware of the matters to which they are appending their signature. A supply-side solution is more likely to be effective. A consent form is an ornament too far.
