My Lords, so far as I am concerned, it is clarification indeed—but I had understood that point, in fact. However, I am grateful to the noble Lord for making his explanation generally available, in case I had not understood it. But the point remains that the theory is that Parliament will authorise and have the responsibility for ultimately authorising prerogative acts. That is the question that I want to address—but my 10 minutes are up, although that includes the noble Lord’s intervention, of course.
