On behalf of the Committee, I join the Minister in recording our gratitude to the hon. Member for West Ham for the role that she has played. During these proceedings she is condemned to sit in silence, which I do not believe to be her natural state. She left our earlier sitting looking as though she needed a lot more than the one glass of wine that the Minister allowed himself on the terrace, and that may have had something to do with the speech of my right hon. Friend. We are genuinely grateful for the work that she has done through the usual channels to get us to where we are.

I am also extremely grateful to the Minister for having placed on the record a coherent and reassuring confirmation that he does not oppose new clause 3 and is prepared to come back with a suitable amendment to iron out some of its imperfections. I am grateful, also, to my right hon. Friend for having teased that out with a specific working example, which is a good way of testing conviction against vague rhetoric. I agreewith the Minister that it seems to be the wish of the Committee that clause 5 should not stand part ofthe Bill.
