I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for all the work that he has done. I was actually hoping to clarify the point that our hon. Friend Richard Graham was making. Having myself held the role of Leader of the House during that attempt to leave the EU between 2017 and 2019, I recall that the House was able to get through some 800 or 900 pieces of secondary legislation. In my opinion, it is very much within the realms of possibility that this amount of legislation can and will be dealt with by the House very successfully.
