My Lords, the Minister’s closing remarks have been exactly what the whole House wanted to hear. It was a draught of commonsense. It typifies what this profound debate has produced—people are not interested in who is right, but what is right. The various party spokesmen summed up much better than I could, and the debate showed the depth and breadth of experience in this House. On behalf of this side, I thank all noble Lords who have taken part and reiterate to the Minister that if this is the way that he has started, by God, he has set a wonderful precedent to continue. Thank you. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion for Papers. Motion for Papers, by leave, withdrawn.
