I do not want to cut across the Minister of State, but the problem with the memorandum is that it states things that are not necessarily what the Bill states. The memorandum is trying to be helpful, but it was produced under enormous time pressure, as was the Bill. Part of what creates confusion is that we read the memo and think it says X, but we then read the Bill which states that something may be X.
