I understand the arguments that have been put about flexibility and ensuring that we have enough room for manoeuvre in future. It is quite interesting that we have had the principles set out in the Children Act and in the Mental Capacity Act. That is not the Mental Health Act, which went into the code, but the Mental Capacity Act. Clearly it is unfair to ask the Minister if he has had any comeback from those principles set out in the Act, but I wonder if he could write to me. I would be interested to know whether putting principles into two of our Acts has introduced a lot of legal cases and disruption.
