The Minister has been generous all day in giving way. However, I do not follow his argument. I had a quick look at the standard orders. There is nothing untoward in them. Let us suppose that there is a huge common with lots of sporting and recreational rights, owners, grazing and even fishing rights. To bring in the democratic element and to accommodate all those interests, surely the 10 to 12 would have to be doubled. If the standard constitution that had been passed by order under the affirmative resolution procedure is then effectively doubled in size outside, would that not seem a little strange?
