My hon. Friend is constitutionally correct. However, he will also agree with me and the Prime Minister that consensus on this issue is important. We govern for the whole of the country, so we need to have regard to the interests of all of it. It is therefore important that we ensure that we have regard, as new clause 1 does, to the different interests of people in all the nations of the United Kingdom.
