I shall cheerfully do so. The new clause was tabled on Report. I think—people far more expert than I will tell me if I am wrong—that was at the behest of the Scottish Executive, not least because there was an assumption that there is a grey area between what is a UK matter and what is devolved in regard to what we are doing in the Bill. Between the tabling of the new clause and our considerations today, there was a court case that rendered the form and the language of the new clause inappropriate.
