I hope I have said enough to illustrate why it is so crucial that there is a specific legal duty to get this paperwork right. I do not think my two amendments raise huge issues of principle; they would ensure simply that the process for which we legislate one day—though perhaps not—is done properly, and that the risks we have discussed repeatedly over our 10 days of discussion are reduced to a minimum. I hope that the noble and learned Lord might look at the amendments on that basis and consider them helpful.
