Mr Des Browne (Minister of State (Citizenship, Immigration and Counter-Terrorism), Home Office; Kilmarnock and Loudoun, Labour)
I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for telling us about the disgraceful and scandalous way in which he has been treated by an institution in this country. Waitrose does not know what it is missing, and it will live to regret its decision.
We will demand the highest standards of security for this scheme, but requiring written consent each time without regard to the circumstances would be impractical and would negate many of the scheme's benefits. Therefore, I invite the hon. Member for Woking to withdraw the amendment.
