I think I have made the points pretty strongly and I do not want to delay matters but I will be sticking to my guns on this issue. We have made huge improvements in this area. We cannot deny individuals access to the courts and that is crucial in the context of amendment No. 36. We have to be very careful not to put something in that might scupper the whole Bill. Undertakings can have a useful role where an order cannot be granted and that is why amendment No. 31 is of concern. I am pleased that the Government amendment is being accepted as it will make a big difference.
