Finally, during the progress of the Bill, I have noticed that the present Opposition express remorse for the previous Government not seizing the opportunity of the Grocott Bill and for leaving the incoming Labour Government with far too few seats relative to their own party, which has caused a good deal of the tension we now have. I say to the Government that I only hope that, in the future, this Government will not regret not addressing some of the issues that we have been debating when they had the chance—because the chance does not come around that often. Meanwhile, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
