I am most grateful to the noble Lord. He proceeded on to another point. First, I want to say to him that my spirit is with the beginning of his amendment. Let us look at the amendment and ask him a question. Paragraph (a) of proposed new subsection (4C) is precisely in terms of paragraph 39 and subsequent paragraphs of the judgment. Proposed new paragraph (b), however, might provoke the question: which parts of the judgment does it support? We are agreed that the Act is not simply satisfying our spirit but is satisfying implementing the judgment. It may not be convenient for the noble Lord to tell me now, but at any time he is able, I would like to know what general principles of human rights law are at stake. I understand that they could be argued very strongly. Is there anywhere in the judgment something which supports proposed new paragraph (b)? I think I know what he is going to rely on, but we ought to have it on the record.
