Lords ChamberIf the noble Lord is referring to who will replace us, that matter is being determined by the European Union as we speak.
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.
I thank my noble friend for that point and can reassure the House that this decision was taken after due consideration.
