Again, is not the hon. Gentleman shooting himself in the foot? He appears to be shooting his own arguments down in flames. Consultation is very different from what was suggested by the Lords. The Lords proposed a veto over appointments, whereas David Clementi and the Joint Committee are saying that the Lord Chief Justice should be consulted. Is not that what the Minister said on Second Reading? The hon. Gentleman’s proposals are different from what is being proposed on the basis of the evidence that has been referred to.
