There are many organisations with concerns about this Bill, and they are supporting these amendments. This was made plain and public in the statement released yesterday, and covered in the Guardian newspaper, from more than 40 civil society and religious groups. I am sure that more will be said about this in relation to the “cumulative impact” amendments to the Bill. At this stage, I simply remind your Lordships that change requires persistence and repeated action, as with the farmers so warmly praised in this Chamber for winning changes on tax by demonstrating.
