I am sure that like me my hon. Friend believes in evidence-based policy. The problem that I have is the one that I voiced in my earlier intervention, which he still has not answered: whether people should be expressing opinions—particularly where they may have consequential legal effects, which would be the consequence of the Bill—without having viewed the film in the first place. The subordinate question to that is whether we would be given time off to do so.
