I have listened to the debate, and I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, for initiating it. I had a chance to talk to her again, online, on Friday last week to again put the Government’s position again. I note that she has been supported by many noble Lords today, including the noble Baroness, Lady Owen of Alderley Edge, the noble Viscount, Lord Colville of Culross, and the noble Lord, Lord Alton of Liverpool. For different reasons than the noble Baroness wishes to have in the first place, the noble Lord, Lord Young of Acton, has poked a hole in the Government’s approach. There is a different approach to that, and if they find themselves in the same Lobby against the Government’s amendment, they will be doing great harm to it.
