That is a valid point, because only in very exceptional circumstances will the court sit in camera to consider any issue. I do not know whether it would be possible, in circumstances like these, to use initials or something that might conceal the identity of people concerned.
Obviously, this issue requires further thought on all sides. For the moment, I will withdraw my amendment; I express my gratitude for some movement from the Government. It would be useful to have further conversations with Ministers to get a little nearer to a satisfactory result. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
