The manifesto went wider than the issues of mandatory retirement and participation to which the noble Baroness the Lord Privy Seal referred. The noble Duke asked, as others did, about the scope of the committee. Will it cover all the manifesto issues and others that have been raised? Where, as the noble Duke asked, is the draft Bill? Where is the guarantee of reform? Where is the undertaking binding in honour this time? Where is the beef? We have heard a lot about a Select Committee, but no commitment to a Bill. How can we be sure that it will happen this time? When?
