I think that my noble friend is being helpful, but she is demonstrating exactly the importance of the point that I made earlier because she is beginning to define the circumstances in which the provisions would operate. It is not being suggested that everyone to whom the provisions might apply would necessarily fulfil the kind of role that she has described. That kind of role raises issues, of course; but this is precisely why, if we are to have legislation of this kind, generalised comments are not wise. It is terribly important to have more precision and clarity about exactly what is meant, and I believe that my noble friend is beginning to help us in that respect.
