Of course I shall. The important thing is not to push the amendments into the Bill but to be satisfied that the Government are well apprised of the complex nature of the problem and its potential impact. It is clear from the Minister's reply that they are.
I wonder about my hon. Friend's comments on the definition of a public authority. I do not think that that was part of my proposals. It may be in amendment No. 47, which was not selected. However, the answer was very interesting all the same. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 81 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
