The right hon. Gentleman is wriggling, but he will not succeed. He is now trying to suggest, deliberately or because he has not bothered to read the proceedings, that the assurances I have just given are new ones that he has managed to elicit.

In suggesting that the recommendations were not being implemented, he was saying something that was wholly without foundation.
