The noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, makes another very good point. I would have thought it was very much in the Government’s interest for the status quo to continue. The Secretary of State will be in no way constrained in the future from doing what he has always done in the past. Irrespective of what position the Government take on my suggestion about the Lord Chief Justice, in my submission they would be well advised to leave the current situation as it stands.
