I assume that the noble Lord, Lord McNally, does not want to mislead your Lordships’ House intentionally, but I am under the impression that the Opposition have said that the Government can have both parts of this Bill as long as they come as two Bills. In trying to show how macho they are, the Government have behaved totally irrationally; they are behaving like spoilt brats, namely, ““We will have both or we’ll have none””. Their mother ought to tell them that they are going to have none.
