It is absurd that we are left with a minute to discuss this point further, but we are. I shall ask my hon. Friends to abstain in the Division on this matter. We shall see what the other place makes of the proposal. The debate there will be longer, and there are people in the Lords who know more about this subject than any others in the kingdom.

I hope that it will turn out to be true that this is an adequate form of judicial review. On that basis, we shall abstain.

It being half-past Nine o'clock, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Orders [19 November and this day.]

Lords amendment agreed to.

Mr. Deputy Speaker then put the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that at that hour.

Lords amendments Nos. 10 to 22 agreed to.
