The other point, which the noble Lord, Lord Murray, made very clear in the Second Reading debate, is on UNCLOS. Again, we were a signatory to the resolution that set this up but, again, in the protocol, it was made quite clear, not just by the UK but in the actual protocol that underpinned the resolution, that it would not be able to rule on sovereignty. That to me is pretty clear. Yet, in the other place, the Minister made a big issue about UNCLOS and how we are going to be bound by it. That just is not the case. Can the Minister elaborate on that?
