I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Stowell, with whom I am grateful to have had conversations outside the House, that the defects should have been ironed out beforehand and that we should not be asked to agree these regulations today in the expectation that there will be amendments in the autumn. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Fox, on the importance of new primary legislation. That is how the House should do it, not through these unamendable regulations and orders, as we have been reminded.
