I have just heard the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, say that 60 per cent are successful.
I am grateful to the Minister and to all noble Lords who have taken part in this debate for the support that I have had. Is it the actor Richard Wilson who says, "I don’t believe it!"? After 15 years of bitter experience, I am tempted to say that. However, I look forward with hope—I am not a pessimist—to seeing this working and serving these people well. They have had such a rough time over all these years. I will read what the Minister said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment 55 withdrawn.
Amendment 56 not moved.
