The questions posed by the noble Viscount, supported by the noble Lord, Lord Empey, are questions that I mused on while sitting on the Front Bench waiting to make my contribution. We are in a situation where, as I have just explained to the Committee, a 30-minute window is given. We can examine take-up and look at how we can encourage it, but a 30-minute window is given. On the merits of that 30-minute window, further action could be applied for, subject to the test. The question that has been put, which I want to echo, is: if the 48-hour position is there—I accept what my noble friend said—what is the quantification of that? What is the cost of that?
