In the light of what the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, said, I ask whether ““within reasonable time”” would not have been a more useful wording. Courts are very used to dealing with reasonableness, whereas ““without delay”” is extremely difficult to define or prove, as my noble friend said. If the amendment is to be pursued, perhaps ““within reasonable time”” might be more appropriate.
