I wonder whether I can ask one question. I apologise to the Committee for having arrived after the Minister had started speaking, but I did catch at the end of her remarks a reference to the Merits Committee’s request that; "““we invite the Government to explain more fully to the House what action they would take if the High Court’s ruling meant that the draft Order could not go ahead””."
Listening to the noble Baroness, the answer seemed to be, ““We don’t believe that the court case will go the wrong way””. Does she have a more direct answer to the Merits Committee than, ““We think it is going to be all right.””?
