If the noble Lord is saying to me, ““In principle I agree about the problem that you have identified, so let’s talk about how we solve it””—the problem being that no political party should be allowed to use its political broadcast to promote or demote any of the electoral systems at issue—I am more than happy to wait until Report stage. The noble Lord read out parts of his brief in a jokey manner, but that gave him complete room to say, ““No, we are not going to make any changes””. Therefore, I need something a little more than what he said. I need an indication that in principle he accepts the broad problem that we have identified.
