It is invidious to name names at these proceedings, but I want to mention the noble Lord, Lord Vaux, and his perseverance and persistence in ensuring that GBE has effective accountability; the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, and her diligence in ensuring that climate and sustainability issues were fully considered; the noble Baroness, Lady Noakes, and her forensic scrutiny of the financial aspects of the Bill—she was once a formidable director of finance in the NHS, and I know only too well the skill and expertise that she brings; and the noble Lord, Lord Alton, and his continuing and hugely impressive work on human rights issues. Many other noble Lords have played significant parts in these debates and I thank them very much indeed.
