I understand the hon. Gentleman’s point. We should all have that concern about retrospective legislation, and that is why in the main we do not go down that road. I referred to the Human Rights Act to cover the issue of justice that he raised. We are talking about very minor detail that perhaps arises some time after the Assembly Measure has been enacted and clarification is needed. That is all that this provision will allow the Assembly to do through the Order in Council process.
