It would consequently be churlish of me not to recognise the unenviable inheritance bequeathed by the Tories to the Secretary of State and his predecessor, the right hon. Member for Leeds South. I thank them both for their continued engagement with myself and other Members of this House. I am in no doubt of their good and noble intentions, but I regret to conclude that, in its current form, the Bill is simply not ready to become law.
