My Lords, I thank my noble friend for that full reply and for his reassurances about contractors and border controls. I was heartened to hear that the workforce will be borne in mind for new skills and responsibilities and that there will be consultation with the unions as things progress. I therefore beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
Amendment 7 withdrawn.
Amendment 8 not moved.
