I thank my noble friends Lord Crickhowell and Lady Carnegy and the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, for their interventions. I do not think the Minister answered our question about exactly what ““significant”” means. Towards the end of her speech, she seemed to be getting very close, and I want to look at her words very carefully. The Minister knows perfectly well that this is a probing amendment and that we do not want to take out those words until we know exactly what they mean, but it is important that the Government tell us what they mean—there might be Pepper v Hart implications in this. I will look carefully at what she said, particularly at what she said in her three or four sentences before the intervention by the noble Lord, Lord Thomas. I might look at everything else she had to say, which is probably equally important. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
