It will not be possible, unfortunately, for the Committee chaired by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas, to meet again. However, answers can be easily obtained if my noble friend the Minister would kindly help. The House would then know the answers, within a month of responses being received, on the drafting of my amendment. Above all, I ask my noble friend the Minister to have an open mind. As far as we know, unlike last time, this Government are not under pressure as there is no danger of a sudden Dissolution, so there is time to make proper inquiries so that this very important amendment is included in the Bill. I beg to move.
