The central point here is, was the law unclear before? Was it unclear after Tomlinson? Was it even unclear before Tomlinson? [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Canterbury (Mr. Brazier) says yes, but the question is, in what way was it unclear? If there was a specific way in which it was unclear, that is the way in which it should be made clear in the Bill. So far as I can tell, there is no suggestion from the Government that that is what is going on with clause 1.
