My Lords, I am tempted to make a cheap comment about the length of the period that it takes to choose a Conservative Party leader, but that is unfair. I withdraw that.
I think that the answer to the question is that, as I explained, it can be extended for a period of up to six months, but it has to be a period of no longer than 12 months in total.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
