Baroness Stedman-Scott (Con)
I am sure the Government appreciate the point that the noble Lord makes. I cannot today give any commitment. I am very sorry, but, as I have said before on numerous occasions, I will go back to the department, where I am sure they will read Hansard with great interest and, I hope, act upon it.
Lord Lexden (Con)
My Lords, why not set a deadline for the completion of this important work? Would not that be a measure of the efficient and successful government that we are entitled to expect?
Baroness Stedman-Scott (Con)
I really do not think there is any more I can say on the deadline. I cannot give a deadline today, but I will do as I have promised.
