I want to put on the record that we will be back here at some point to deal with amending legislation. This Bill is going to end up in the courts. It is almost like a mirror image of the substitute consent legislation we will deal with shortly, the first version of which was not right and was rushed through at the end. That legislation was subject to significant legal challenge, which forced the Government to bring forward amending legislation. In the case of this Bill, we could do it the right way by way of amending legislation we all support.
