Although the hon. Lady is always welcome to intervene, had she paused for a moment I would have finished my closing comments as follows: the expression “an appropriate extent” would transcend any future code that might seek to define “good practice” because it is more flexible and adaptable to different circumstances. I hope that that answers the hon. Lady’s question and that the Committee will accept the amendment.
