I agree with all the thanks, but I would also like to put on record the fact that this is the second time that you and I have served on a Bill, Mr Sheridan. The first time, I was supporting your private Member’s Bill to establish a gangmasters agency. It has always been my view that we are pretty bad at producing effective legislation, but the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 is one of the most successful, effective and practical measures ever put forward, and I hope people will recognise that. I am reminded of that because this is the first time you and I have been together on a Bill Committee since then.
