I can say that the discussions we will have will cover those; whether the final amendments do so will depend partly on the outcome of those discussions. We are seeking a consensus from political parties to do this. The noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, for example, feels very strongly about that, and I am sure it will be part of the discussion that takes place with the Liberal Democrat Party. I do not as yet know what my own party will say, nor indeed that of the noble Baroness, Lady Hanham, but the ambition is to have amendments that cover what the political parties feel needs to be covered and are drafted as tightly as possible so we do not have gaps.
