When we get to Report—I am particularly addressing noble Lords on the other side of the Committee—we will have had all the discussions about the future constitution and role of the House of Lords. So could we on Report, partly out of kindness—there is kindness from all sides of the House toward my noble friend the Lord Privy Seal—leave her undertakings to consider many of these constitutional features of the House and bring forward the necessary legislation or the changing of the rules of the House? Can we have a thoroughly shortened Report stage and not another elongated stage, like this Committee?
