I am very happy to take the hon. Gentleman's pedantry on board. I agree with him absolutely both because he is right about the way in which clause 4(2)(a) is set out and because of consistency. If we are to be consistent, we might as well be consistent in a proper, correct way rather than a bad way.
Clause 4 deals with consequential amendments to other legislation required as a result of the Bill. I commend it to the Committee.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 4 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
