: I am pleased to hear the Secretary of State say that. I heartily agree with him, although I am bound to point out that substantial parts of the Bill—particularly part 3, which we considered previously—implement remarkable constitutional innovations and the Government do not seem to be troubled by that at all. On the basis of the Government’s approach, I am a little startled, but rather reassured to hear the Secretary of State adopt such a constitutionalist position.
