I have been listening carefully to the response of the right hon. Gentleman to my right hon. and learned Friend Sir Edward Garnier. Let me press him on the point that my right hon. and learned Friend raised, because it is very important. We are inserting the judicial authorisation of warrants. I did not think—I said this in my speech—that any Member should question the independence of the judiciary. It seems, however, that he is doing just that. Will he now confirm that he is not questioning that?
