I shall make the shortest of contributions to support what my noble friend said. I have really only addressed this issue on hearing what has been put forward today. The amendment is extremely worthwhile and necessary and is on a matter that we on these Benches, and I personally, feel very strongly about. I do not have the knowledge and background of the noble Lord who proposed the amendment, but there is the potential for very unfair treatment of people who do not have the knowledge and have not had it put in front of them, such as immigrants and foreign people generally. So I give very strong support to what has been proposed.
