I thank the Minister for giving way. It is important that interventions are taken as they help to make the Government accountable.

I agree with the Minister entirely in his criticisms about how the proposals for modulation have been drawn up, so what alliances will the UK Government seek to form with other member states to drive through the kind of reforms that he and I would like to take place?
