I understand what the noble Lord, Lord Fox, is trying to do. Whether we add to the purpose clause—the noble Baroness, Lady Stowell, had a couple of additions in her mind—is probably not the point, but I hope we do not turn this into a bunfight. There are things we can do here that will be positive and will help people, but we must have cognisance that we do not want to damage the potential for people to be employed by making things so difficult for the small employer that they are frightened away from the necessary investment and recruitment that we so desperately need. Yes, we have to be fair, but we have to be practical.
