My Lords, we welcome government Amendments 71 and 73, which are welcome improvements. Amendment 63 would empower the Secretary of State—not simply Ofcom, as currently set out in Clause 28—to direct Ofcom to take appropriate action for ensuring an adequate number of access points. That is a welcome improvement on accountability. I also welcome the Minister’s assurance about access points including post offices, which is the subject of our Amendment 63A.
