I support the comment made by the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, about the Minister’s brilliance in defending a completely hopeless case. We watch him do it day after day, and he is absolutely marvellous. I am lost in admiration.
The idea of disposing of a fundamental piece of British justice because it is difficult to prosecute is absurd. The whole point of it being there is to make it difficult to prosecute. We shall have to return to this later, but in the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
