True, we do not a difference in view, but what we have is a piece of legislation that I do not believe reflects that approach. Everything we have learnt about the various statutory instruments that will flow from this legislation confirms what the Minister has just said, what the noble Baroness believes this legislation means and what I believe this legislation means. All the noble Baroness and I are asking for is that there should be a word somewhere in the legislation—and I think that these are the appropriate places—that reflects that in plain English.
Clearly, we are not going not get any further on this subject today. The Minister has said that he would reflect. He is obviously doing some quick reflecting this afternoon.
