The ability to check against potential coercion is what has worried people concerned about this Bill the most—that includes people who strongly support the principle. I fear that many Peers and many MPs are putting choice for some ahead of concern about coercion of others. Just as happened in the Scottish Parliament, the more scrutiny this Bill has got, the more concerns people have had. That is why I was encouraged by very recent polling of the public showing that people want a safe Bill and want the Lords to do their job. Just saying repeatedly that it is safe is not enough.
