I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, for what he said about the article in the Daily Telegraph. There is no disagreement between the leader of my party and me on the Bill and on taxation. I respectfully remind the noble Lord that I am probably rather more closely related to the leader of my party and know rather more about his views on this than do most in your Lordships’ House.
However, when I said that the Bill was not going anywhere, I was not making a statement on my own grounds, I was quoting the Minister, who said that he did not think the Bill would go anywhere. I have two questions for the noble Lord. Is it correct that he is disagreeing—
