My Lords, it is six o’clock on 18 December, so there is not much daylight, but I am grateful to the noble Lord for some reassurance on that. I am not sure where we are restating the existing provisions. I am grateful for the intervention of my noble friend Lord Borrie, because he points out that, on the one hand, investigations depend on people telling the truth and that, in other countries, there are rather stronger protections than we have.
If the Minister is right that my amendment would make the protection worse, I will clearly withdraw it. I will have a look at how the interplay between the various existing provisions protects that position. Whether they are responsible themselves and therefore a degree of what the Americans would call plea-bargaining is appropriate or whether they are simply imparting knowledge which they have acquired in one way or another, we need to protect such people. Any hint that the Bill would change that is important.
Clearly, I am not doing it in the right way. I will read what the noble Lord said and see whether I need to take the matter any further, but I am very grateful for his response. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
