I have spent my career trusting judges, and it has nearly always been the right thing to do. Of course, judges are extremely good, and obviously I take the point that a senior judge, in particular, would be experienced. As to the solution that the noble Lord proposes, perhaps I may think about it rather than responding to him tonight. This is a matter on which we want to hear expert opinion in this House, and outside too, so that we come to the right judgment. I think that the Committee knows where we stand at present but I am very grateful to the noble Lord.
