Lord Phillips of Sudbury
My Lords, it is now three and a half hours since we had the debate on this amendment and scarcely anyone who was present then is present now and vice versa. Therefore, it would be rather fruitless to do as I had intended originally and put the amendment to the vote. However, I shall bring back the principle involved—which is the primacy of integrity over the other two objectives—at Third Reading. On that basis, I withdraw the amendment.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Geddes)
My Lords, as the noble Lord has spoken to the amendment, I must give the opportunity for other noble Lords to speak if they so wish.
