The balance is difficult to strike, but we think that we have found the right balance in all the measures covered in this Clause and the earlier clauses relating to it. The 1973 Act is relevant to this clause, but companies will be required to undertake review by the Competition Commission. They will have to put forward their comments, which will be provisional findings, not conclusions. I trust that I have reassured the hon. Gentleman that we have the balance right.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 38 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 39 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
