I am sorry for interrupting. When Mr. Herrick states there is an issue with regard to the input of human rights groups, he is essentially referring to proposals such as criminalising gatherings in private homes, which some people thought was a joke but we then found it was contained in a memo on the way to the Cabinet. Am I right in saying that could have been avoided if there had been a level of consultation?
