My Lords, I am grateful to all noble Lords who have taken part in the debate, which has now lasted two and a half hours. I am not surprised to find that those who have spent their lives in the intelligence world have spoken against the Bill with such conviction and even passion—that is what I expected. However, I think I am right in saying that only the noble Baroness, Lady Ramsay, and possibly the Minister, have spoken against this matter being referred to a Select Committee. That is all I am asking. The importance of the matter is not in doubt, and the importance of it being investigated, if possible, by Parliament has been stressed and stressed well by the noble Lords, Lord Brennan and Lord Judd, and the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lyell.
