May I say how good it is to see my hon. Friend back in the House? He makes a very good point about the Churches.

I am trying to make up my mind whether the Government have been caught napping and forced to ramrod this legislation through the House in a single day or whether they are just trying to avoid scrutiny. In making up my mind, I would be interested to know whether the Secretary of State has indicated that he will accept any of my hon. Friend’s good amendments, which would mitigate the measure.

Unfortunately, our amendments were rejected in the other place and I have had no indication that they will be supported in this House.
