My Lords, the Minister said more or less that he agreed with our position but did not see the need for the amendments to be on the face of the Bill. The argument he gave was that the courts would have no difficulty in distinguishing the penalties from the earlier elements of the case—but, as we have already heard this afternoon, some of those legal disputes are just beginning. It is not as clear-cut as we would like, legally, and therefore we do feel the need for that clarification to be in the Bill. I therefore wish to test the opinion of the House on Motion C2.
