I was just checking. The noble Baroness nodded when I said that. Perhaps there is a reshuffle going on. I remember when, as a Minister, I was talking once when a note was passed to me that said, "You have been moved to another department". There is only one true Chancellor, created in 1396, and that is the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.

I say a word of thanks to the various organisations that have taken up these issues so well and explained them to us. I hope many of them will now scrutinise the amendments of the noble Baroness with the same degree of clarity that they have scrutinised mine, just to make sure that we have got this right.
