I do not agree with his system but let us discuss it. I will finish on this. I have introduced lots of legislation, as I said in my opening sentence, from both sides of the House. This is really important legislation. It is not perfect as it is currently constructed but the objectives are really important. I ask the Government to give it the fair wind it deserves to be teased through to a statutory model for the analysis and evaluation of criteria on the well-being of our economy well beyond the gross statistics we now measure.
