I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord. I am getting inspiration in the form of a book from my noble friend.

My noble friend could retable the amendment. He should, really.

In short, the advice is confused, but I am going to think about it.

The noble Lord, Lord Tugendhat, set a very high test for the response today. He wanted a detailed response that would assure him that the Government had in mind significant changes that would meet some of the questions raised. I think the view of the House is that the response was not up to that level; therefore, I wish to test the opinion of the House.
