Mutual enforcement, the basic part of that Bill, is the way forward to get rid of these ridiculous rules that no other country in the world would have accepted whereby a foreign institution is allowed to make rules without any say by the Northern Ireland people. If anything shows all this to be so ridiculous and unnecessary, it is this statutory instrument. I have great respect for the Minister, and I know how much she understands this whole area, but I hope that she will respond in a very different way from the Minister in the other place, who did not answer a single question or clarify a single thing of what those Members opposing it asked. I hope that the noble Baroness will do that, and that other noble Lords listening tonight will realise that sometimes soft words and pushing something through come back to bite us in the end. I beg to move my amendment.
