I am the last one to tell the noble Lord not to get aerated but, as my noble friend reminded us a little earlier, less than a year ago his own Government brought in a constitutional reform Bill that had 13 separate items of constitutional reform. I understand that occasionally, as the noble Lord, Lord Kinnock, and I were discussing earlier, a little bit of aeration is worth it, but so too is a little self-knowledge. No one is threatening anyone, but there are lessons to be learnt from history, which was all I was doing.
