Can we just clarify one thing? The Minister contradicted himself in response to my hon. Friend the Member for Broxbourne (Mr. Walker), but I hope that he eventually corrected his slip of the tongue. On the undertaking to report to the House, the Minister confirmed that the report would appear in ““not less”” than five years. He seemed to be reassuring us that nothing would be embarked upon with undue haste—but my hon. Friend was trying to press him to say that he was undertaking that a report would be given in not more than five years’ time. The Minister appeared to return to that idea later, but will he clarify what he meant?
