It must be tough being the Minister. I am sure that all our sympathies go out to the hon. Gentleman.
As I have said, I do not intend to press the amendment to a vote. The judicial review may give us some indication of the interpretation of the current legislation, which would be helpful, and I think that we should wait for that. I know that the Minister fully appreciates the urgency with which my amendment seeks to drive the process, and I hope that I can work with him to find and expedite the most suitable vehicle. If that turns out to be regulations under the Bill, we will stand ready to help him to ensure that they are passed.
I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
