I am not satisfied, but I intend to make that request to the Committee.
On the parliamentary scrutiny of piloting, when piloting was originally agreed, we did not get the sense that the process would involve piloting, piloting and piloting for ever and a day, allowing Ministers in effect to choose the arrangements in any particular area for elections over a sustained period. There is the risk of abuse in the long term if that continues. We believe that it is a good idea to have that parliamentary protection.
Given that the Minister said that he is thinking about these issues, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
