I thank the noble Lord for giving way. On the subsection concerning ““to hold no opinion””, the way in which it is expressed suggests people who have always been totally indifferent to our European Union membership. I do not think that those people exist. I think that the noble Lord is referring to people who are uncertain about whether the United Kingdom should stay or leave the EU. If he were at some future date, or perhaps in his Bill which has not received a Second Reading, to substitute the words ““be uncertain”” for ““to hold no opinion””, that would improve the wording tremendously.
