My Lords, following that interesting exchange, I pick up where the noble Lord, Lord Adonis, began, by pointing to what he described as the Minster’s “carefully woven” speech. I confess that I do not quite agree with that definition, as the speech appeared to be a cut-and-paste version of the...

I am grateful to the noble Lord for his intervention. I assure him that I am more than happy to help to resolve the lacuna he has, and I will go even further and share with him a few thoughts that that association has about the draft regulations before us....

That would be taking the interpretation of the conversations and correspondence I have had with Ofcom a step too far. I do not think that Ofcom feels that it is its place to comment on the rightness or otherwise of the regulations. However, it is pointing out very clearly that...

I am sorry. The noble Lord is entitled to assert whatever he likes, but I specifically read out a section from the withdrawal agreement, which says, and I repeat, that the UK has no right to participate in decision-making or governance in any EU body of any type and no...

I do not think that it is necessary to pursue this; I am merely making a simple request. Given that this body says that it has not been consulted—I entirely accept the Minister’s point that the draft regulations have been published and so it could have read them and perhaps...

I said that I would not intervene but I am intervening. The Minister is well aware that the financial consequences of telecoms companies, for example, in the UK, which do not abide by regulations imposed by the European Union will be significant.
