However, I am pleased that noble Lords feel strongly enough to debate this issue further at length. Definitions are important and, as noble Lords have noted, the additional detail is already included, almost word for word, in the Explanatory Notes. As the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson, stated in relation to the approach taken by the previous Government, the precise purpose of the Explanatory Notes is to provide this sort of additional illustrative detail about the intent behind the legislation. I hope that this reassures noble Lords.
