I am reluctant to accept the noble Earl’s words, because I would not necessarily recognise the description of a case that the noble Earl has come up with. It would very much depend on the circumstances of the case, but I make the point that there may well have to be cases—very few in number, perhaps one, two, three or four a year; I have no idea—where there has been a wilful refusal to co-operate and we have to make use of this particular provision, but I say to the Committee that it would be in very few cases indeed.
