I did not have enough time to deal with the question of how the commission will do its work, how it will operate in a decision-making capacity in terms of consultation and how it will look at the needs of both Houses, where it would see mergers and make itself felt in a positive way. Legislation is crucial and it is important that we should be in charge of our own budget, but I cannot see that this will do what we set out to do a number of years ago.
