I am most grateful to the noble Lord for giving way with his customary generosity. I can answer his question very simply. It is in those documents that the Government most clearly set out their view of the charter. That is precisely why I used them because Mr Miliband and Mr Murphy both express in no uncertain terms their view about what the charter does. It was for that reason that I relied on those documents. You do not get the same statements in the House of Lords documents.
