I thank my noble friend for that. I believe that as politicians—I was concerned about how the Leader of the House addressed this earlier—we have a responsibility to be as clear as possible, not just about the absolute nature of the legislation but on our thinking, which has brought us to this point, and, more than that, on where it is going to lead to. What is going to be the effect of this? We have a responsibility to the public because that is what democracy means.
