Lord Bridges of Headley
If the noble Lord is referring to who will replace us, that matter is being determined by the European Union as we speak.
Lord Lawson of Blaby (Con)
My Lords, may I commend the Government on the very sensible decision they have taken, for the reasons set out by my noble friend? I must say that I find this very curious. Normally in this House I hear noble Lords criticising the Government for not making up their mind. Now they are being criticised for having made up their mind.
Lord Bridges of Headley
I thank my noble friend for that point and can reassure the House that this decision was taken after due consideration.
