Although he has not spoken today, the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, whom I have known for a considerable time in various capacities—we once shared constituency borders in the House of Commons; I still look out over his former constituency from my home in north Wales—has raised previously some very valid issues, as were raised by other noble Lords today, around the support mechanisms for documentation before this House on important issues such as this. I hope that I do not break confidences when I say that I will be meeting the noble Lord shortly to hear at first hand the concerns of his committee. I hope, although one never knows how these things will end up, that I will be able to assist as far as possible in allaying those concerns for documentation for future orders, SIs and other mechanisms that come before this House.
