The Secretary of State appears to have a crystal ball that is not available to the rest of us. He has already said that the provision will probably not come anywhere near us until 2011 plus plus. He has just said, however, that it will be a controversial matter when it does come before us. I contend that it might not be. What does he know that we do not know, and how can he be sure, looking so far into the future, that he knows what will happen? I think that that is slightly arrogant.
