My Lords, I am most grateful to the noble and learned Lord for giving way. I understand that he is coming to a conclusion and I would like to ask him a question about something that he said as we approach Committee, where these matters may be raised. He referred to the Crown and said—I believe I have it right—that nobody should be above the law. That he directed to the position of the Crown under the Bill. It is difficult not to agree that that is a very important issue. Does he think that that basic principle that no one should be above the law applies also to human beings in regard to primary and secondary liability?
