I agree with the noble Lord that it would have been marvellous to have contributions from the noble Lords, Lord Butler and Lord Armstrong, but I should think they are probably making their cocoa and going to bed. The reason that we are not able to devote attention to these things is because we seem to be engaged in this sort of endurance exercise. I must say that carrying out this business, at this time of night, in this way, is the most persuasive argument I have heard for devolution since we started discussing the Bill.
