I encourage the noble and learned Lord to say early in this debate—we have done it for nearly an hour already—that he is prepared to sit down after this Committee stage with others with the intention, the purpose, of adding the appropriate words to this Bill with the assistance that he has been lucky enough to have. We have had wonderful assistance from the Public Bill Office. He has had much more assistance from even more official channels. We can sit down, we can find the words, we can try to agree on them, and I hope that noble colleagues in this Committee would undertake to act in good faith to try to find those words and to ensure that on Report they were included. Let us not have another three-hour debate in which we feel as though the pin on which we are dancing is melting underneath us.
