My Lords, perhaps I could ask the Minister to elaborate on what he has just said to my noble friend. I am a lifelong member of the National Union of Journalists. I retained that membership when I was a Minister; I continued to pay my subscription, although the National Union of Journalists was not always in agreement with government policy—I could put that rather more strongly. Under the Bill, would it mean that, if it wished, the National Union of Journalists would be entitled to expel me from membership?
