What we are talking about—I am dealing with the whole bunch of amendments in saying what I have—is ways of writing in the necessary procedural safeguards that the Law Lords have insisted on, using Section 3 of the Human Rights Act to do so. All that I am saying is that, as a matter of principle, surely the Government should now take away the JCHR’s suggestions and the Law Lords’ judgments and come back with amendments that will not be controversial, as they will reflect the law of the land as laid down by the Law Lords.
