I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Attlee for his constructive drafting suggestions and to my noble friend Lady Finn for engaging not just with the literal interpretation of the words in my amendment, as she put it, but with the spirit in which they were brought. I am grateful too to the Minister for so delicately pointing out my chutzpah in bringing these amendments. I did so with a self-awareness, but I should at least be grateful, I suppose, that she did not call me a schmuck—for now.
