I sense that the hon. Lady may wish to divide the House so, for the record, I wish to say that, for once, I was persuaded by the Minister’s argument. It is a judgment rather than a principle, but is she not being a little pedantic in pursuing her concerns? The Minister made a cogent argument about the Government’s intentions and, in my assessment, it would be useful, rather than harmful, to retain those provisions as drafted.
