I was temporarily excited that the Minister was about to accept my new clause, but she then went on to give a long set of reasons why she would not. Nevertheless, it was a constructive set of reasons and, if I can extract a modest victory from her speech, there was clearly some sympathy towards the intention of new clause 22, so I do not need to press the matter further.
