I am sure that that intervention has been noted. Indeed, I am looking forward to an e-mail on Monday that says: "Sorry, can't get down today. Snowed in. G Foulkes". Perhaps I am hoping for too much. As I say, I hope that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer, will take what I have said in the spirit in which it is intended. As the noble Lord, Lord Grocott, said, we refine these issues each time. The noble Baroness, Lady Liddell, rightly reminded us of how things can go badly wrong. We would like to talk further about this.
