My Lords, I am grateful for that response and welcome the Minister’s offer to write with further details. I accept that negotiation is sensitive but at what point does the interest of negotiating with one company override the very real interest of the wider public, the entire sector and all the consumers who will be paying for the outcome of that negotiation? It is odd that, in everything else, the department has provided very welcome levels of detail and yet there is such a degree of silence in this area that it makes people unnecessarily suspicious. There should be no one negotiation that is so sensitive and so overridingly important that we are unable to have a discussion about it. That is skewing things unnecessarily. Let us try and get these technologies on an even keel, get through state aid and move forward. One negotiation should not require this degree of special treatment.
I look forward very much to the Minister’s letter and, on that basis, I am happy to withdraw the amendment.
