I am usually sceptical about anything that is retrospective, most particularly the law, and notwithstanding the twaddle spoken by the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), Labour is a party of the law and of value for money. We do not need lessons or side swipes from him on those matters.
I must comment on the hon. Gentleman’s attempt to divert the discussion into a cul-de-sac with nonsense about a trawl through all of the NDPBs. Most of them, by his own admission, were set up inadequately by the previous Conservative Administration. It is the Labour party in government that has had to try put those wrongs to right. His point was entirely spurious.
