I am grateful to colleagues for their support and to the Minister for her courteous reply. She reminded us of the backdrop provision, which is that any such change would require the authority, by order, of both Houses. That is an important backdrop and might give the protection and the cover needed.I am happy to think about that and perhaps be persuaded. On that basis, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
