I hope that that is implied in the Bill by the various sanctions that are available to the commission. Of course the commission is bound, as is any organisation, to behave in a reasonable fashion. There is always the possibility of judicial review of a decision by the commission if it is felt to be "Wednesbury unreasonable"—the noble Lord will know better than I what that phrase means. We believe that there are protections here, as there are covering all organisations of this kind. We believe that the Bill has got it right.
