I object to that. If the hon. Gentleman used the term lobbyist as a smear, I object to it, and I object to the assertion that when I and, for that matter, Lord Patel and Lord Turnberg meet any scientist to express concerns about the Bill, we are somehow not doing our job. It is reasonable to do that and we have been diverted in a peculiar way, Mr. Hood. I am happy to hand the hon. Gentleman a copy of the e-mail that was sent to me by Alison Murdoch last night.
