My Lords, I am grateful for the point of view of all noble Lords who have spoken, not many of whom have agreed with me, I fear. Be that as it may, I am clear that we now ought to proceed to Committee. Therefore, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.

Some Lords objected to the request for leave to withdraw the amendment, so it was not granted.

Ayes 2, Noes 127.
